You know my baby's got the blues, and I don't know what to do I don't know what to say, should I go away And pray for her sorrow? She sits there all alone, as silent as a stone And I don't know how to help, should I keep it to myself And wait for tomorrow? And if I knew how to reach her where the waters run deep I would give her the words that would help her to sleep At night she lays in bed with secrets in her head With pain too deep for words, nothing can be heard But the sound of her breathing Mercies and angels up above Heaven please help the one I love Guide the direction that she goes Watch every step, each stone Please let her know she's not alone Give her the strength to trust in everything she knows I've stayed up late at night, my head bowed in the light And what I think at last is the problems in her past Are the reason she's leaving And if I knew what was missing, if I knew what was best I would give her the words that would help her to rest If she goes away, should I try and make her stay 'Til her night becomes day and these deep shadows blow away 'Cause heaven knows my heart is so confused My baby's got the blues
