Only for Me - James Taylor

Down the end of the 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 yeah

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, oh yes
