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
And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon, Little boy blue and the man in the moon. When you coming home, dad? I don't know when, But we'll get together then. You know we'll have a good time then.
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
Oh, he was the sun burning bright and brittle And she was the moon shining back his light a little He was a shooting star She was softer and more slowly He could not make things possible But, she could make them holy.
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 I dream that something's coming And it's not just in the wind It's more than just tomorrow It's more than where we've been It offers me a promise It's telling me, begin!
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
All my life's a circle Sunrise and sundown Moon rolls thru the nighttime Till the daybreak comes around.
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
Why did the little girls grow crippled While the little boys grow strong The boys allowed to come of age The girls just came along The girls were told sing harmonies The boys could all sing songs That's why little girls grew crippled While little boys grew strong.
Harry Chapin
Reality is only just a word.
Harry Chapin
Oh God they got you gun shy You know your skin's as cold as ice Your eyes are double filtered babe You're so afraid to be nice There's no way you're ready To let your defenses down Though I won't come on heavy There is a lesson that I've found.
Harry Chapin
She sings the songs without words Songs that sailors, and blind men, and beggars have heard She knows more of love than the poets can say And her eyes are for something that won't go away.
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
Good dreams don't come cheap You've got to pay for them.
Harry Chapin
I finally like myself, at last I like myself.
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
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
But you can travel on for ten thousand miles, and still stay where you are.
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?
Harry Chapin
No straight lines make up my life And all my roads have bends There's no clear-cut beginnings And so far no dead-ends.
Harry Chapin
