She's Alright
Well, the moon in New York tonight was beautiful
I wish you were around to see it too
I'm so happy I could cry
Why'd you'd have to go and die like that?
It's a shame when people ain't around to see
The smiles that they nurture, the laughter they breed
These people don't know me
And I don't that showing what I've seen
And I threw up on a corner in Philadelphia
She said, "Boy, there ain't no real point in helping ya"
The only thing you've ever owned
Were high hopes and a pocket comb, you fool
So don't act like you know who I am
Cause the more I'll explain the less you'll understand
Them a**holes downtown are the only ones around that even try
So look up tonight, the moon, she's shining
And we'll be alright, 'cause she's still smiling
The city lights would blow mama's mind
The more I search, the less I find
But I'm alright
'Cause she's here tonight
Oh, she's alright
And I still recall the night you were heading home
You were fighting so hard, I knew you couldn't be alone
Your hand in my hand
I knew I had to be a man from that night on
And I'll tell you all these stories one day
And we'll laugh like we used to and waste the night away
You'll say, "Boy, how I've missed ya"
But son, I was with you this whole time
So look up tonight, the moon, she's shining
And we'll be alright, 'cause she's still smiling
The city lights would blow mama's mind
The more I search, the less I find
But I'm alright
'Cause she's here tonight
Oh, she's alright
She's alright
Oh, she's alright
The moon in New York tonight was beautiful
I wish you were around to see it too
Well I'm so down that I could cry
Why'd my best friend up and die like that?
Hey, baby, um, I just wanna see what you're doing
I love you, bye-bye
