jimmy's song - john d. lewis lyrics

jimmy’s standing by the door watching the people come in
says: “h*llo,” to the folks he knows, gives the rest a friendly grin
doesn’t have a lot to say: “he says: “a wasted word ain’t wise.”
but there’s warm in jimmy’s easy smiles and wisdom in his eyes

jimmy stood beside that door every friday for twenty years
seen a lot of come and go, seen a lot of grown men’s tears
jimmy walked the fine line between the good and the going*down
reaching out a hand in friendship when somеone walked that side of town

and that’s thе kindness of strangers
it’s the tenderness of touch
it’s the “been there” in a poor man’s words
that can help you through so much
it’s the meaning of a heartfelt hug
when you need a helping hand
it’s the kindness of strangers saying:
someone understands

jimmy finally told his tale one cold december night
a bare board floor became his stage beneath a single naked light
no one breathed a single word: just an old world*weary sigh
when jimmy bared his soul that night, and changed somebody’s life

and that’s the kindness of strangers
it’s the tenderness of touch
it’s the “been there” in a poor man’s words
that can help you through so much
it’s the meaning of a heartfelt hug
when you need a helping hand
it’s the kindness of strangers saying:
someone understands
jimmy’s not beside that door when they meet there on fridays now
and no one dares to take his place; it wouldn’t seem quite right, somehow
some know jimmy’s watching from a better place, they say
but jimmy walks the fine line: he’s with me every day

jimmy stood beside that door every friday for twenty years

- john d lewis lyrics
