Someone you love is hurting,
and you've done all that you know to help
Why you'd even take the load they bear
and carry it yourself
But if there seems there's nothing you can do
Don't just turn and walk away
This may be the time and place
When all you can say
I'll help you cry.
Lay your head on my shoulder and I
won't let you shed your tears alone.
Take my hand - only say the word
and I'll stay right here by your side.
Right by your side!
I have no words to ease the pain...
I don't know how it all will end,
I'm your friend and I'll help you cry.
With all the words to choose from
with every prayer that the soul can bring.
Still the mending of a broken heart is never a simple thing
for every piece of every fragile heart
must be handled with such care.
For only God can heal the heart and
this word you can share...
I'll help you cry.
Lay your head on my shoulder and I
won't let you shed your tears alone.
Take my hand - only say the word
and I'll stay right here by your side.
Right by your side!
I have no words to ease the pain...
I don't know how it all will end,
but I'm your friend and I'll help you cry.
I used to think that heartaches were meant to hide,
that it was a sign of strength
to keep it all up inside,
but I found out that healing began
when I let someone in who said...
I'll help you cry.
Lay your head on my shoulder and I
won't let you shed your tears alone.
Take my hand - only say the word
and I'll stay right here by your side.
Right by your side!
I have no words to ease the pain...
I don't know how it all will end,
and I'm your friend and
I'll help you cry.
