She’s Alright Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Well, the moon in New York tonight was beautiful
I wish you were around to see it too
I'm so happy I could cry, why'd you'd have to go and die like that?
It's a shame when people ain't around to see
The smiles that they nurture, the laughter they breed
These people don't know me, and I don't plan on showing what I've seen
And I threw up on a corner in Philadelphia
She said, "Boy, there ain't no real point in helping ya"
The only thing you've ever owned were high hopes and a pocket comb, you fool
So don't act like you know who I am
'Cause the more I'll explain, the less you'll understand
Them assholes downtown are the only ones around that even try
[Chorus]
So look up tonight
The moon, she's shining
And we'll be alright
'Cause she's still smiling
The city lights'll blow mama's mind
The more I search, the less I find
But I'm alright
'Cause she's here tonight
Oh, she's alright
[Verse 2]
And I still recall the night you headed home
You were fighting so hard I knew you couldn't be alone
Your hand in my hand, I knew I had to be a man from that night on
And I'll tell you all these stories one day
And we'll laugh like we used to and waste the night away
You'll say, "Boy, how I've missed ya, but son, I was with you this whole time"
Well, the moon in New York tonight was beautiful
I wish you were around to see it too
I'm so happy I could cry, why'd you'd have to go and die like that?
It's a shame when people ain't around to see
The smiles that they nurture, the laughter they breed
These people don't know me, and I don't plan on showing what I've seen
And I threw up on a corner in Philadelphia
She said, "Boy, there ain't no real point in helping ya"
The only thing you've ever owned were high hopes and a pocket comb, you fool
So don't act like you know who I am
'Cause the more I'll explain, the less you'll understand
Them assholes downtown are the only ones around that even try
[Chorus]
So look up tonight
The moon, she's shining
And we'll be alright
'Cause she's still smiling
The city lights'll blow mama's mind
The more I search, the less I find
But I'm alright
'Cause she's here tonight
Oh, she's alright
[Verse 2]
And I still recall the night you headed home
You were fighting so hard I knew you couldn't be alone
Your hand in my hand, I knew I had to be a man from that night on
And I'll tell you all these stories one day
And we'll laugh like we used to and waste the night away
You'll say, "Boy, how I've missed ya, but son, I was with you this whole time"
[Chorus]
So look up tonight
The moon, she's shining
And we'll be alright
'Cause she's still smiling
The city lights'll blow mama's mind
The more I search, the less I find
But I'm alright
'Cause she's here tonight
Oh, she's alright
She's alright
Oh, she's alright
[Outro]
The moon in New York tonight was beautiful
I wish you were around to see it too
I'm so down that I could cry, why'd my best friend up and die like that?
Hey, baby, um, I just wanna see what you're doing
I love you, bye-bye
So look up tonight
The moon, she's shining
And we'll be alright
'Cause she's still smiling
The city lights'll blow mama's mind
The more I search, the less I find
But I'm alright
'Cause she's here tonight
Oh, she's alright
She's alright
Oh, she's alright
[Outro]
The moon in New York tonight was beautiful
I wish you were around to see it too
I'm so down that I could cry, why'd my best friend up and die like that?
Hey, baby, um, I just wanna see what you're doing
I love you, bye-bye
