Lay your troubles on my shoulders

Put your worries in my pocket

Rest your love on me awhile

Rest your love on me a while

Saw your lonely face across the room

No, I won't forget it
And the way it might have been

Oh, why did you have to leave so soon?

You know I hate to think that someone

How long must I wait
For the last train to leave here

And the last chance to go home
G# D# G#
Get to thinking I was born too soon

How long, honey
When the lovin' don't come

It was there when you left me

Just didn't know how to begin (ah-oh)
