maybe you don't know me
anymore than i know you
and i wouldn't blame
you if you walked away
i been watchin you all evenin'
with the teardrops in your eyes
and it touches me much
more than i can say
you know i'd hate
to think that someone
could have hurt someone like you
and if i was him
i'd be right by your side
lay your troubles on my shoulders
put your worries in my pocket
rest your love on me awhile
lay your troubles on my shoulders
put your worries in my pocket
rest your love on me awhile
saw you in the corner on
the moment i walked in
saw your lonely face
across the room
no i won't forget it
and the way it might have been
why did you have to leave so soon
you know i'd hate
to think that someone
could have loved you more than me
and at times like this
i'd be right by your side
lay your troubles on my shoulders
put your worries in my pocket
rest your love on me awhile
lay your troubles on my shoulders
put your worries in my pocket
rest your love on me awhile
how long must i wait
for the last train to leave there
and the last chance to go
get to think that
i was born too soon
how long honey when
the lovin don't come
i was there when you left me
just didn't know how to begin
lay your troubles on my shoulders
put your worries in my pocket
rest your love on me awhile
lay your troubles on my shoulders
put your worries in my pocket
rest your love on me
awhile
