Subject: Lyr Add: YOU PASS ME BY (Nesbitt; Snow)
I didn't want to have to do this, but here goes anyway:

YOU PASS ME BY
(Nesbitt; Snow)

You pass me by,
And all the folks all turn and stare,
They hear my cry.
Oh heart of stone,
You pass me by.

The folks all know
That once we swore
Our love would never die
But now they see
You pass me by

It must seem strange to them
To see me walking lonely
Because they know
Where e'er you go
'Tis there I fly and yet

You pass me by,
And all the folks all turn and stare,
They wonder why
Oh heart of stone,
You pass me by.

In dreams I try
To see again your two bright smiling eyes
I'll wake from dreams
You pass me by

You say you'd like to know
How much I really love you.
I'd rather try, before I die,
To count the stars, and yet

You pass me by,
And all the folks all turn and stare,
They wonder why
Oh heart of stone,
You pass me by.

[Instrumental break]

I fail to gain the riches
For our wedding day
But I sailed again
Across the main
And now though late I cry

Don't pass me by
For all the folks all turn and stare,
They wonder why
Oh heart of stone,
You pass me by.
