[Intro]
I was walking in New York City and I brushed up against the man in front of me
I felt a cardboard placard on his back
And when we passed a streetlight, I could read it, it said:
"Please don't pass me by - I am blind, but you can see
I've been blinded totally - Please don't pass me by"
I was walking along 7th Avenue, when I came to 14th Street
I saw on the corner curious mutilations of the human form
It was a, a school for handicapped people
And there were cripples, and people in wheelchairs and crutches
And it was snowing, and I got this sense that the whole city was singing this:
[Chorus]
Oh please, don't pass me by
Oh please, don't pass me by
For I am blind, but you, you can see
Yes, I've been blinded totally
Oh please, don't pass me by
[Verse 1]
And you know as I was walking I thought it was them who were singing it
I thought it was they who were singing it
I thought it was the other who was singing it
I thought it was someone else
But as I moved along I knew it was me, and that I was singing it to myself
It went
I was walking in New York City and I brushed up against the man in front of me
I felt a cardboard placard on his back
And when we passed a streetlight, I could read it, it said:
"Please don't pass me by - I am blind, but you can see
I've been blinded totally - Please don't pass me by"
I was walking along 7th Avenue, when I came to 14th Street
I saw on the corner curious mutilations of the human form
It was a, a school for handicapped people
And there were cripples, and people in wheelchairs and crutches
And it was snowing, and I got this sense that the whole city was singing this:
[Chorus]
Oh please, don't pass me by
Oh please, don't pass me by
For I am blind, but you, you can see
Yes, I've been blinded totally
Oh please, don't pass me by
[Verse 1]
And you know as I was walking I thought it was them who were singing it
I thought it was they who were singing it
I thought it was the other who was singing it
I thought it was someone else
But as I moved along I knew it was me, and that I was singing it to myself
It went
