These are sad times

Your eyes have told me so

Blue and black times

You think that i don't know

But there'll be glad times

Just you wait and see

And i'll be your sunrise if you'll lean on me



I imagine that i could comfort you

I have forgotten the things that you've been through

But here's one thing

On which we can agree

When you're ailing darlin' you can lean on me



And the love i bring

Will grow into a lasting thing

Put your heart on wings

That set you free

And as you rise

Up into the clearing skies

Maybe you will realize

You can lean on me



All your heartaches

Are hidden deep inside

So there's no telling

How many tears you've cried

But like the river

Told the weeping willow tree

I can hold your tear drops

Try, lean on me
