(Verse) |
|
What if I did not love you? |
|
Where would that leave me |
|
Would I wander through the avenues |
|
Under appall of misery |
|
(Verse) |
|
Would I be face down in the gutter |
|
With cheap whiskey on my breath |
|
The lonely life of a writer |
|
Whose words could not pay his debts |
|
(Chorus) |
|
Singin' please don't, please don't pass me by |
|
I am alive, oh can't you see? |
|
That I've been blinded completely |
|
Please don't, please don't pass me by |
|
I am alive, oh can't you see? |
|
That I am pleading for your mercy |
|
(Verse) |
|
What if we became strangers? |
|
Would you notice my face in a crowd? |
|
And you could you hear the sorrow in my voice? |
|
Helplessly crying your name out loud |
|
(Verse) |
|
Would I be searching for a savior? |
|
Burned and burning with regret |
|
The lonely life of a writer |
|
Only if one last desperate request |
|
(Chorus) |
|
Singin' please don't, please don't pass me by |
|
I am alive, oh can't you see? |
|
That I've been blinded completely |
|
Please don't, please don't pass me by |
|
I am alive, oh can't you see? |
|
That I am pleading for your mercy |
|
(Bridge) |
|
I've been on the lamb |
|
Being hunted, somethin' fierce |
|
They say time and time, it wait's for no man |
|
But I was just hopin' |
|
These storm filled skies would clear |
|
(Chorus) |
|
Please don't, please don't pass me by |
|
Please don't, please don't pass me by |
|
Please don't, please don't pass me by |
|
I am alive, oh can't you see? |
|
That I am pleading for your mercy |
