From the recordings Play This Now, This ..Our Best, and Couldn't Be Anything Else
Lyrics
cant tell anyone how funny it is
or explain who I used to be
showed me kindness
forever grateful
all the people who showed me
... kindness in my life
thank you..and God
thank you too
spent life.. homeless
wandering town to town
no friends no enemies
please don't..
dont cry for me
unless they're tears of joy
only tears of joy
for me
my earliest memory
sitting on the side of the road
getting splashed soaking wet by strangers
driving by fast and forever
and forever grateful I'll be
all the people who showed me
... kindness through my life
thank you
got lost once
chased by wild dogs
ran fast so afraid
climbed a tree
long time up there
lost interest in me
miracle get away
and thank you ..God..
that time had to be you in my life
or maybe your angels
you never turned
your back on me
but I was
turned away
from the front door
of many a restaurant
didnt know better ate my meals
from the garbage near the back door
later workers there
showed me kindness
and forever grateful
I'll be for leftovers
and a plastic fork
learned not to complain ..
so not complaining now
please don't.. dont cry for me
unless they are tears of joy
now .. I laugh cause
I'm popular
dont know how it happened
caused by genetics
my feminine beauty
just luck and
all the things
I had nothing to do with
invited to parties
shopping with friends
to the mall
and walk right in the front door
of the restaurants..
still cant help but wonder ..
whats going on
near the back door
and I
cant tell anyone
how funny it is
or explain who I used to be
forever grateful I'll be
to the people
who showed me kindness
in my life ... thank you
..and God thank you God
for everything ..
what a spectacular life
you have given me
please don't..
dont cry for me
unless they are tears of joy
gotta be ..tears of joy
got to be ..got to be ..tears of joy
you can let them out for me ...
let em out ... let em go
need to let em go
..are you crying for me
are you crying for me
cause.. Im crying for you
this my pain or your pain
your pain ... is my pain
and now
who 's crying for who
have to let it out.. let it out
all that sadness cant stay inside
draggin you down
draggin me down
draggin draggin
cry for me.. cry for me
tears of joy
only tears of joy
and the sadness
the hidden sadness
will stay our secret
please
