A SONG FOR BE

I SAW YOU STANDING IN THE MAIN SQUARE
I MOVED IN CLOSE TO HEAR YOU PLAY
I PASSED A CROWD OF BUSY SHOPPERS
YOUR MUSIC TOOK MY BREATH AWAY.

YOU SAY YOU MEET THE STRANGEST PEOPLE
THEY COME AND STAND THERE HAPPILY
AMONGST THE CROWD OF BUSY SHOPPERS
I REALLY KNOW YOU CAN REACH ME.

IF YOU SEE ME IN THE MAIN SQUARE
COME IN CLOSE TO HEAR ME PLAY
DON'T MIND THE CROWD OF BUSY SHOPPERS
I'LL TRY AND TAKE YOUR BREATH AWAY.

I SAID I MEET THE STRANGEST PEOPLE
THEY COME AND STAND THERE LIKE THEY DO
AMONGST THE CROWD OF BUSY SHOPPERS
I REALLY HOPE I SING TO YOU.

I SAW YOU STANDING BY THE RIVER
I MOVED IN CLOSE TO HEAR YOU PLAY
I JOINED THE CROWD OF SILENT LISTENERS
YOUR MUSIC REALLY MADE MY DAY.

YOU SAY YOU MEET SO MANY PEOPLE
THEY COME AND STAND THERE HAPPILY
AMONGST THE CROWD OF SILENT LISTENERS
I FEEL YOU'RE SINGING JUST FOR ME.

IF YOU SEE ME BY THE RIVER
COME IN CLOSE TO HEAR ME PLAY
AND JOIN THE CROWD OF SILENT LISTENERS
I'LL REALLY TRY TO MAKE YOUR DAY.

I SAID I MEET SO MANY PEOPLE
THEY COME AND STAND THERE LIKE THEY DO
AMONGST THE CROWD OF SILENT LISTENERS
I REALLY HOPE I SING TO YOU.

LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA...

SO IF I SEE YOU ON A CORNER
I'LL DROP A COIN AND SAY GOOD DAY
LIKE THOSE WHO LISTENED HERE BEFORE ME
WE HOPE YOU'LL ALWAYS COME AND PLAY.
