The Guess Who

(B. Cummings - D. Troiano)

City lights and the pretty sights beckoned you to roam,
Leavinââ?¬â?¢ now and youââ?¬â?¢re knowinââ?¬â?¢ how, youââ?¬â?¢re on your own,
Family and reality seem so far away,
Feelinââ?¬â?¢ fine and the happy times have left you to stay.

Oh shopping bag lady, asleep on the snow,
If you had your fortune, youââ?¬â?¢d trade it for a kind Hello,
Oh shopping bag lady the winter winds blow,
Society has forgotten you, thereââ?¬â?¢s nowhere left for you to go.

Through the tears, all your better years passinââ?¬â?¢ by so fast,
Loneliness is a part of you, and oh how it lasts,
No one there, there to really care, the city seems so cold,
Yesterday you were just a child, today youââ?¬â?¢re so old...

I would love to hold you,
Nights when youââ?¬â?¢re alone and the cold and dark is killinââ?¬â?¢ you ever so slowly,
I would love to love you,
Nights when youââ?¬â?¢re alone, youââ?¬â?¢re alone.

I know the days used to be something different for you,
I know itââ?¬â?¢s cold and lonely and itââ?¬â?¢s misery,
I wanna help you, I wanna help you, I wanna help you when youââ?¬â?¢re down,
I wanna look around and find a helping hand for you,
Oh no itââ?¬â?¢s never too late, Oh no itââ?¬â?¢s never too late to try and help you out,
I know youââ?¬â?¢re cold and itââ?¬â?¢s misery,
I can tell the days used to be something different for you.
