Alan Jay - A Face in the Crowd (Adoption) Lyrics




They say I was born in January
And I suppose it's true
My parents I call Mom and Dad
But what's become of you?
It was never kept a secret
I knew I was not their son
But when 1 walk the streets downtown
I look close at everyone

Lookin' for your face out in the crowd
Someone with eyes and hair like mine
Who might see me and be proud
I know you didn't keep me
Did it mean that you didn' t care?
Lookin' for your face out in the crowd

I imagine that you held me
And didn't want to say goodbye
I hear my voice call out to you
In every new born's cry
L'm a child lost in the universe
An apple off the family tree
With no family photo book
Just an unsolved mystery

So I'm lookin' for your face out in the crowd
Someone with eyes and hair like mine
Who might see me and be proud
I know you didn't keep me
Did it mean that you didn' t care?
Lookin' for your face out in the crowd

Tell me that my father loved you
Tell me he died in the war
Tell me you would've raised me by
Yourself
Tell me you were just too poor

Tell me you're lookin' for my face out in the crowd
I still seem to need your love
Without knowing why or how
I can't leave you behind me
I s till wish that you would find me
Lookin' for your face out in the crowd
