Only For Me

JAMES TAYLOR

Down the end of this barroom,

Out of sight of the light in the window.

His mind in his whiskey

And his body in a folding chair,

Far beyond repair.

I enter his vision,

He watches me look for my seat.

He makes his decision

And he stands to his feet,

Lord, it's a long way down.



It happened to me, wonderful sight.

Only for me, only for you.

It happened to be a light shining through

From one who was lost and found

Just like me and you.



Old man says, "Young man,

My you're looking pretty green,

Like a stranger to this kind of place.

Come sit at my table,

Come and look into my face,

I've got a story to tell.

There was a father and son,

But that was a long time ago.

And when the time came to run,

I just couldn't say no

So I left them behind."



It happened to me, wonderful sight.

Only for me, only for you.

It happened to be a light shining through

From one who was lost and found

Just like me and you.



We have seen it before

In times of great sorrow

That human compassion

Will flow from a well

That has long run dry.



It happened to me, wonderful sight.

Only for me, only for you.

It happened to be a light shining through

From one who was lost and found

Just like me and you.
