Verse

 I was coming to the end of a long long walk when a man crawled out of a cardboard box under the

E Street Bridge followed me on to it

Dug for some change wouldn't need it anyway he

Pre-chorus

Took it lookin' just a bit a-shamed he said you

Chorus

Moments days in the sun moments I was second to none

Old man just kept hanging around lookin' at me lookin' down I think he

Recognized that look in my eyes

Moments days in the sun moments I was second to none

Lookin' at me now you might not know it I've had my moments I know

Moments when I knew I did what I thought I couldn't do like that

Cool night on the E Street Bridge when a young man almost ended it I was

Right there wasn't scared a bit and I helped to pull him through

Lookin' at me now you might not know it oh

Lookin' at me now you might not know it I've had my
