I would have_ been_ here_ sooner_
Your note came yester day-ay__
But_ yesterday_ was crazy_
There was much to square a way_
Then I tried to come_ this morning_
But the old car wouldn't r un-un_
And the bu ses_ run so slowly_
There was nothing_ to_ be done_
But you_ you don't need my troubles_
I'm here now_ anyway- ay__
And there's nothing_ left be hind_ me_
To say I cannot_ stay_
When I told you_ that I love you_
I said' " Call me_ anytim- ime_
And espe cially when_ you need someone_
When things get out of line" __
And oh__ there's a bur_-ning in your eyes__
And the hand you put in mine__ won't stop trembling_
Oh___ tell me what you're going through__
'Cause_ all I want to do-o__ is be_ protecting_
Oh_ all those shadows_ on your face_
They look so out of place__ they should be sun_- light_
I want to take you_ when the smile_ returns_
And keep_ you from the night_
And wake up_ to see-ee me_ in your eyes____
_ _ _ | _ _ _ | _ _ _ | _
I don't know how we happened_
When we're kept so_ far apar- art__
There sure are lots worse prisons_
Than the kind_ with iron bars_ _
And it al_-most makes me crazy_
To see_ you hurt insi- ide__
When you're beautiful_ and really need_
To let things_ open wide_ _
And oh__ there's a bur_-ning in your eyes__
And the hand you put in mine__ won't stop trembling_
Oh___ tell me what you're going through__
'Cause_ all I want to do-o__ is be_ protecting_
Oh_ all those shadows_ on your face_
They look so out of place__ they should be sun_- light_
I want to take you_ when the smile_ returns_
And keep_ you from the night_
And wake up_ to see-ee me_ in your eyes____
I want to take you_ when the smile_ returns_
And keep_ you from the night_
And wake up_ to see-ee me_ in your eyes____
