The Lonely Life

[00:15.38] What if I did not love you?
[00:22.49] Where would that leave me
[00:31.01] Would I wonder through the avenues
[00:36.51] Under a pall of misery
[00:45.67] Would I be face down in the gutter
[00:51.87] With cheap whiskey on my breath
[01:01.07] The lonely life of a writer
[01:07.13] Whose words could not pay his debts
[01:15.02] Singin' please don't, please don't pass me by
[01:21.90] I am alive, oh can't you see?
[01:25.80] That I've been blinded completely
[01:30.75] Please don't, please don't pass me by
[01:35.99] I am alive, oh can't you see?
[01:40.31] That I am pleading for your mercy
[01:53.22] What if we became strangers?
[01:59.06] Would you notice my face in a crowd?
[02:08.05] And could you hear the sorrow in my voice?
[02:14.00] Helplessly crying your name out loud
[02:22.79] Would I be searching for a savior?
[02:29.41] Burned and burning with regret
[02:37.97] The lonely life of a writer
[02:44.18] Only if one last desperate request
[02:52.00] Singin' please don't, please don't pass me by
[02:59.07] I am alive, oh can't you see?
[03:02.81] That I've been blinded completely
[03:08.10] Please don't, please don't pass me by
[03:13.35] I am alive, oh can't you see?
[03:17.45] That I am pleading for your mercy
[03:22.41] I've been on the lam
[03:29.02] Being hunted, somethin' fierce
[03:37.02] They say time and tide, it waits for no man
[03:42.83] But I was just hopin'
[03:45.55] These storm filled skies would clear
[03:51.72] Please don't, please don't pass me by
[03:55.98] (Please don't, please don't pass me by)
[03:59.25] Please don't, please don't pass me by
[04:03.08] (Please don't, please don't pass me by)
[04:06.67] Please don't, please don't pass me by
[04:11.99] I am alive, oh can't you see?
[04:16.65] That I am pleading for your mercy
