  • 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
    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
    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

    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 Publisher: T.R.O. INC.
