  • There's a little bit of you and some of me
    There's a little bit of everything you see
    But you don't know why Harry cried
    There's a time right after love when you feel low
    Like a bird with perfect wings denied the sky
    But you don't know why Harry cried

    Take a look at the common man
    He can talk with the use of his hands
    Pass you on by with a smile
    Like he just don't care
    Take a look at yourself in the light
    People see by the look in your eyes
    Either you're deaf or you're blind
    Or you just don't care Well something stirred today
    Young Harry he passed away

    Someone moves and a leaf falls to the ground
    Morning comes and he is not around
    But you don't know why Harry cried

    Well you pick him up and you put him in your hand
    And he slips on through like tiny bits of sand
    But you don't know why Harry cried

    Take a look at the common man
    He can talk with the use of his hands
    Pass you on by with a smile
    Like he just don't care
    Take a look at yourself in the light
    People see by the look in your eyes
    Either you're deaf or you're blind
    Or you just don't care Well something stirred today
    Young Harry he passed away
    Bye bye Writer/s: JOHN LEES
