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
