If you try to look But you don't touch Then you won't touch But you'll never feel And if you don't feel You'll never cry And if you don't cry Then you'll never heal.

More quotes by Harry Chapin
I've got nothing against selling out, but just let me do it for something that matters. Not so I can be Number One With a Bullet, as it were, but so I can leave this world feeling like I made a difference.
Harry Chapin
And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon Little boy blue and the man in the moon.
Harry Chapin
The reason I fight for the arts as well as against hunger is because the arts are the qualitative way, are the effective way, are the traditional way we learn to make value decisions about who and what we are.
Harry Chapin
Be involved with the people with the live hearts, the live eyes, who are committed to something.
Harry Chapin
I want the fact that I existed to mean something.
Harry Chapin
It's got to be the going, not the getting there, that's good.
Harry Chapin
Short stories that's all it's ever been Don't you worry 'bout the ending Babe, before we begin I have seen the sun That's behind the rain I have felt the joy That's behind the pain.
Harry Chapin
I found you a thousand times I guess you done the same But then we lose each other It's like a children's game As I find you here again A thought runs through my mind Our love is like a circle Let's go 'round one more time.
Harry Chapin
Why were the little girls all frightened To be just what they are The boys were told to ask themselves How high how far The girls were told to reach the shelves While the boys were reaching stars That's why little girls were frightened To be just what they are.
Harry Chapin
I finally like myself, at last I like myself.
Harry Chapin
And I know you're frightened By my laughter But you're not afraid To hold my pain You see I'm never sure Just what you're after, Babe But it seems you only love me When it rains. How come you only love me when it rains?
Harry Chapin
I'd rather make a mistake than do nothing.
Harry Chapin
Good dreams don't come cheap, you've got to pay for them and If you just dream when you're asleep this is no way for them to come alive... to survive.
Harry Chapin
Good dreams don't come cheap You've got to pay for them.
Harry Chapin
I believe that success brings responsibility. It also does not bring immunity to the consequences of our quickening march towards oblivion. The bottom line is that all of us should be invovled in our own futures to create a world that our children will want to live in.
Harry Chapin
Strum your guitar sing it kid Just write about your feelings not the things you never did Inexperience, it once had cursed me But your youth is no handicap it's what makes you thirsty
Harry Chapin
There's a vacancy, won't you come to me And fill my empty spaces I'm a motel man in a promised land That's filled with empty faces So won't you bring your sorrows bring your dreams, It's a place for you to be There's no more tomorrow or that's how it seems Won't you come to me? I've got a vacancy
Harry Chapin
If we say that no one's out there And we say we're goin' nowhere And we avoid the question Is this all that it means?
Harry Chapin
You see, I have no real complaints of how you've left your past behind I guess what gets me worried is you've erased him from your mind.
Harry Chapin
If a man tried to take his time on earth and prove before he died, what one man's life could be worth, well I wonder what would happen to this world?
