_ [F] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Am] _ As I sat sadly by her side, [F] _ at the window [E] through [Dm] the [Am] glass,
She stroked a kitten in her laughing [F] way, Watched the world [E] as it [Dm] fell [Am] past.
_ Softly she spoke these words to [F] me, With brand new eyes, open wide.
[Am] _ We pressed our faces to the glass, [F] As I sat sadly [G] _ by [Am] her side. _ _ _ _
_ [F] _ _ _ _ _ _
She [Am] said, Father, Mother, _ Sister, Brother, [F] _ Uncle, Aunt and Nephew, _ [Am] Niece,
Soldier, Sailor, Physician, _
_ [F] Laborer, Actor, Scientist, Mechanic, Priest,
[Am] _ Earth and Moon and Sun and Stars [F] and [Dm] Planets and Comets with tails blazing,
[Am] All are there [F#] forever [Am]
falling, [C] [F] falling lovely [G] _ _ [D]
and [A] _ [Am] amazing. _ _ _ _
_ [F] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Am] _ _ Then she smiled and turned to me [F] and waited for me to [Dm]
reply.
_ Her hair was falling down her [F] shoulders, As I sat [G] sadly by _ [Am] her side. _ _ _ _
_ [F] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Am] _ As I sat sadly by her side, [F] _ the kitten [E] she did gently pass,
[Am] _ Over to me and again we pressed [F] our different faces [E] to the [Am] glass.
That may be very well I said, [F] but what's the one [B] falling in the [F] street?
_ [Am] _ See him gesture to his neighbors [F] and see him trample [Am] beneath their feet.
All outward motion connects to nothing, For [F] each is concerned with their immediate need.
[Am] When does the man reaching up from the gutter [F] see the other one stumbling [G] on who _ _ [Am] cannot see? _ _ _ _ _
_ [F] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Am] _ With trembling hand I turned toward [F] her, I pushed the hair out of [Dm] her eyes.
[Am] _ The kitten jumped back to her lap [F] as I sat [G] sadly by _ [A] her side. _ _ _ _
_ [Am] _ _ [F] _ _ _ _ _
_ [Am] _ _ Then she drew the curtains down and [F] said, Oh when will you ever _ [Am] learn?
That what happens there beyond the glass [F] is simply none of your concern.
[Am] _ God has given you but one heart you [F] are, Not a home for the hearts of your brothers.
[Am] _ God don't care for [E] your _ [Am]
benevolence [F] anymore, He cares for the [Am] lack of it [F] in others.
_ Not as he cared for you to sit [F] at windows In judgment of the world he created.
[Am] _ While sorrows pile up around [F] you, _ Ugliness [G] and _ over [A] inflating.
_ [Am] _ _ _ _
_ [F] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Am] _ _ When she turned her head away, [F] _ Great tales deepened from her [Am] eyes.
I could not wipe the smile from her [F] face As I [C] [G] sat sadly [A] by her [Am] side. _ _ _
_ [F] As I [G] sat sadly [G] [A] by her [Am] side. _ _ _ _
[F] As I [G] sat sadly [A] by her [Am] side. _ _ _ _
_ [F] As I sat [C] sadly [G] _ by [Am] her _ side. _
