Sylvia, does it help if I say I feel for you? And I think it was the one about the tulips That did it - that did it. Oh and isn't it a shame You had to go through so much pain To help someone that you never knew. Sylvia, it doesn't help if I say I've been down too But there's always been someone I could turn to Why not you - why not you? And though seldom they could share It was knowing they were there that pulled me through. It seems there are a few Who can say it for the many And maybe one or two Who can say it for the few And one of them was you. Sylvia, don't get me wrong if I say I see through you
And before my colours turn darker than blue Oh what can I do- what can I do? Oh it just seems so unfair that through sadness and despair You help someone that you never knew. It seems there's one or two Who can say it for the few And maybe just a few Who can say it for the many But that can't help you any. Sylvia, it doesn't help if I say I've been down too But before my colours turn darker than blue. Oh what can I do- what can I do? Oh and isn't it a crime that you lose out every time And help someone that you never knew.
