Someone you love is hurting
And you've done all that you know to help
Why you'd even take the load they bear
And carry it yourself
But if it seems there's nothing you can do
Don't just turn and walk away
This may be the time and place
When all you can say
I'll help you cry
Lay your head on my shoulder and I
Won't let you shed tears alone
Take my hand, only say the word
And I'll stay right here by your side
Right by your side
I have no words to ease the pain
I don't know how it all will end
But I'm your friend and I'll help you cry
With all the words to choose from
With every prayer that the soul can bring
Still the mending of a broken heart
Is never a simple thing
For every piece of every fragile heart
Must be handled with such care
For only God can heal the heart
This word you can share
I'll help you cry
Lay your head on my shoulder and I
Won't let you shed tears alone
Take my hand, only say the word
And I'll stay right here by your side
Right by your side
I have no words to ease the pain
I don't know how it all will end,
I'm your friend and I'll help you cry
I used to think that heartaches
Were made to hide
That it was a sign of strength
To keep it all locked inside
Out, but I found out that healing began
When I let someone in who said
I'll help you cry
Lay your head on my shoulder and I
Won't let you shed tears alone
Take my hand, only say the word
And I'll stay right here by your side
Right by your side
I have no words to ease the pain
I don't know how it all will end
But I'm your friend and I'll help you cry
