| I saw your face in your hands |
| the tears on your cheeks |
| I wanted so badly |
| to pull you next to me. |
|
| But I knew my place |
| and knew that wasn't it |
| so all I could do |
| was sit and hear your tears drip |
|
| But their splash on the floor |
| and that look in your eyes... |
| I couldn't bear it anymore |
| I wouldn't listen to your lies. |
|
| I knew that you loved me |
| and I knew that you needed me |
| but that was just fine |
| because it was a mutual need |
|

|
| He took her in his arms |
| and held her close |
| wiped the tears from her cheek |
| and kissed her on the nose |
|
| Yet those tears wouldn't stop |
| she just cried more |
| So he wrapped his arms 'round |
| and held her closer. |
|
| But she continued to sob |
| and brought forth more tears |
| so he kissed her 'pon the cheek |
| and leaned her on his shoulder |
|
| They stayed there embraced |
| in an everlasting hug |
| just holding each other |
| until the tears stopped |
|
| Well he loved her then |
| and he loves her still |
| And she knows he'd be there for her again |
| and that he always will. |
