Once a mother

stood on a corner

Tears betrayed

her painted smile

She was trading

in her halo

For just enough

to feed her child

Then an old man,

cold and hungry

Saw her crying

so he stopped

AND He gave her

his one possession

A shining sil---ver

pocket watch

Theres no cross

that love wont bear

And when

youre down

to your last prayer

It will be

the saving grace

In the depths

of your despair

Theres no crossss

that love

wont bear......

So the old man

found a park bench

he layed down

and went to sleep

As he drifted

into slumber

He prayed the Lord,

his soul to keep

Then the mother

with her halo

Came to him

In a dream

And he woke up

in a mansion

His silver watch

there on its chain

Theres... no cross

that love wont bear

And when

youre down to your last prayer

It will be

the saving grace

In the depths

of your despair

Theres no cross

that love

wont bear....

No, theres no cross

that love

wont bear
