Only For Me

James Taylor

Transposer:

Words and Music by James Taylor from his 1981 album "Dad Loves His Work." [Intro] [Verse 1] Down the end of the barroom Out of sight of the light in the window His mind in his whiskey and his body in a folding chair Far beyond repair [Verse 2] I enter his vision He watches me look for my seat He makes his decision and he stands to his feet Lord it’s a long way down [Chorus] It happened to me wonderful sight Only for me only for you It happened to be a light shining through From one who was lost and found Just like me and you [Verse 3] Old man says "Young man my you’re looking pretty green yeah Like a stranger to this kind of place Come sit at my table come and look into my face I’ve got a story to tell [Verse 4] There was a father and son But that was a long time ago And when the time came to run I just couldn’t say no so I left them behind" [Chorus] It happened to me wonderful sight Only for me only for you It happened to be a light shining through From one who was lost and found Just like me and you [Verse 5] We have seen it before In times of great sorrow That human compassion will flow From a well that has long run dry [Chorus] It happened to me wonderful sight Only for me only for you It happened to be a light shining through From one who was lost and found Just like me and you oh yes [Outro]

La chanson évoque une rencontre marquante entre un jeune homme et un vieillard dans un bar, où ce dernier, échappant à ses propres regrets, tente de partager une leçon de vie. À travers un échange plein de sagesse, le vieux homme se remémore l'importance des liens familiaux qu'il a perdus et évoque un chemin de perdition vers la lumière de la rédemption. Ce dialogue met en lumière la solidarité humaine, la compassion et la possibilité de se retrouver, même après avoir fait face aux épreuves de la vie.
