Darling, you don't know how hard it is to see you cry
If I could, I'd steal your tears and drown while you dry
I could calm all your fears but even that would be a lie
For these arms can't grant salvation, no matter how hard I try
So, let's just lay here together and forget the by and by
Now I know you're wondering about the world, why we live, why we die
And I see you perched on the window ready to catch wind as you fly
I would keep you next to me but I can feel the goodbye
Never was my intention to keep you down from the high
Just promise you'll return, oh darling, my, my, my
Someday, we will gather round the table and sing of days gone by
Love and laughter will fill these hallways and escape up to the sky
Where even angels there in heaven can't stop us as we fly
Until then, I can promise to see you through song and sigh
But, darling, you can't know how hard it is to hold in this cry
