What if I did not love you? Where would that leave me Would I wonder through the avenues Under a pall of misery 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 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 What if we became strangers? Would you notice my face in a crowd? And could you hear the sorrow in my voice? Helplessly crying your name out loud Would I be searching for a savior? Burned and burning with regret The lonely life of a writer Only if one last desperate request 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 I've been on the lam Being hunted, somethin' fierce They say time and tide, it waits for no man But I was just hopin' These storm filled skies would clear 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 (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
