(barry gibb)



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 all evening

With the teardrops in your eyes

And it touches me much more than 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



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



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



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 leave here

And the last chance to go home?

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



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
