Give
She was the Cinderella of New York Started out with little just the ghetto-nothing home But soon she's living like rich people do Wielding plastic up and down at Fifth Avenue
But first she grew up on the Bowery Only friends were homeless taught her Harlem harmony She'd sing her songs and people stop and smile For a quarter they forgot New York a while
And then at night when the people all went home She'd dig out her cardboard house alone And in it she'd wait with coffee cup in hand and sing
Give, you know it's Christmas Give, whatever just you can is just enough I need you now to help me help myself Give, yourself at Christmas Love may be the only thing you've got to share The love's enough so give
She saved her quarters moved uptown a bit Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com Got a subway gig and in Penn Station was a hit But still she longed to live the underground Maybe CBGB maybe Broadway bound
She sang for years til one man came along Signed a record deal, paid big money for her songs So now it's park-view days and sold-out nights All the homeless, all the cardboard's outta sight
But still at night when the people all go home She sits in her park penthouse alone She thinks of her home and wonders if her friends still sing
Give, you know it's Christmas Give, whatever just you can is just enough I need you now to help me help myself Give, yourself at Christmas Love may be the only thing you've got to share The love's enough so love
