"DO YOU BELIEVE IN ME" lyrics

I saw an old lady on the subway
Crazy look on her face
She was talking to some people when I left
Staring into empty space
I was moved, I sat down beside her
I put some money in her hand
She let my dollar fall to the floor
She said, "You don't understand
'Cause all I want"

Do you believe in me?
I started to lie
Do you believe in me?
Lady, you make me feel
Maybe there's a way for us both to be real
If you believe in me

Uncle Louie, he's a solid man
He built his house out of stone
His daughter plays the piano all night
And he never sleeps alone
Some say he's a happy man
Others say he's just a mess
When he fell off the chair
He grabbed a hold of my hand
Looked in my eyes and then he asked

Do you believe in me?
I got to know
Do you believe in me?
You make me feel
Maybe there is a way for us both to be real
If you believe in me

We've been on Forty-Second Street
People vanish in the air
We gotta hold each other close
So we don't disappear
I don't wanna disappear

I saw a lady on the subway
Crazy look on her face
She said, "Your father was a good man
Don't be afraid of the empty space"
