Maybe you don't know me
Anymore than I know you
And I wouldn't blame you if
You walked away
I've been watching you on me
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 shoulder
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 be here?
And the last chance to know
Get to think that I was born too soon
How long, honey
When the loving 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
