1. Maybe you don’t know me any more then I know you
And I wouldn’t blame you if you walked away
I been watchin’ you all evenin’ with the teardrops in your eyes
And it touches me much more then 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
Chorus: 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
2. 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
Bridge: 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 lovin’ don’t come
I was there when you left me
Just didn’t know how to begin

Simple version
1. Maybe you don’t know me any more than I know you
And I wouldn’t blame you if you walked away
I’ve been watching you all evening
with the teardrops in your eyes
And it touches me much more that I can say
You know I hate to think that someone
Could have hurt someone like you
And at times like this I’d be right by your side.
Chorus: Lay your troubles on my shoulders
Put your worries in my pocket
Rest your love on me a while
Lay your troubles on my shoulders
Put your worries in my pocket
Rest your love on me a while
2. 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
Oh, why did you have to leave so soon.
You know I hate to think that someone
Could have loved you more than me
And if I was them I’d be right by your side.
Bridge: How long must I wait for the last train to leave here
Yeah the last chance to go
Get to thinking I was born too soon
How long honey, when the loving don’t go on
I was there when you left here
Just didn’t know how to begin
