City lights and the pretty sights beckoned you to roam,
leavin� now and you�re knowin� how, you�re on your own,
family and reality seem so far away,
feelin� fine and the happy times have left you to stay.
Oh shopping bag lady, asleep on the snow,
if you had your fortune, you�d trade it for a kind hello,
oh shopping bag lady the winter winds blow,
society has forgotten you, there�s nowhere left for you to go.
Through the tears, all your better years passin� 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 you�re so old...
I would love to hold you,
nights when you�re alone and the cold and dark is killin� you ever so slowly,
i would love to love you,
nights when you�re alone, you�re alone.
I know the days used to be something different for you,
i know it�s cold and lonely and it�s misery,
i wanna help you, i wanna help you, i wanna help you when you�re down,
i wanna look around and find a helping hand for you,
oh no it�s never too late, oh no it�s never too late to try and help you out,
i know you�re cold and it�s misery,
i can tell the days used to be something different for you.
