Lean on me

You've seen sad times,

Your eyes have told me so,

Blue and bad times,

You think that I don't know,

But there'll be glad times,

Just you wait and see,

And there'll be a sun rise,

If you lean on me,

Said lean on me babe,

You can lean on me,

I imagine I could comfort you,

I have forgotten,

The things that you've been through,

But there's one thing,

On which we can a agree,

When you're ready darling,

You can lean on me,

And the love I bring,

Will grow into a lasting thing,

Put your heart on wings,

And set you free,

And as you rise,

Up into the clearing skies,

Maybe you will realise,

You can lean on me,

Lean on me,

 

All your heartache,

Hidden deep inside,

So there's no telling,

How many tears you've cried,

But like the river,

To the weeping willow tree,

I can hold your teardrops child,

So lean on me,

 

And the love I bring,

Will grow into a lasting thing,

Put your heart on wings,

And set you free,

And as you rise,

Up into the clearing skies,

Maybe you will realise,

You can lean on me,

Lean on me.
