Tears

She told me all her problems
As a tear ran down her cheek
She stuttered just one little word
And her body went all weak

Many times she had told me
What happenend that cold, cold night
And everytime she went ot bed
She got an awful fright

I tried to reassue her
With a funny little rhyme
She gave a little gentle smile
And sang with me in time

I told her over and over
There's nothing more I can do
Another tear ran down her cheek
And she said, "My only friend is you".
