Now that I'm older Though not old enough to know What it is to be lonely What it is to be without a home I've a friend around Who loves me rain or shine Don't ask me why But her younger eyes are so much Older eyes than mine I thought I was well read Wouldn't have to ask her for a lead Till I read what her eyes said Then I knew there was nothing more to read Nothing more to do And nothing more to say But give all my words away To someone who needs them But can't find a girl like you I ran all the way here To be the first to see the morning star There were others before me For the sounds of beauty travel far I hear it loud and clear And it rings like a silver coin Thrown down on stone Though I'm lost in a crowd I know you're around me somehow I hear it loud and clear And it rings like the silver coin Thrown down on stone Though I'm lost in a crowd I know you're around me somehow
