I could write you a letter,
But what would it say?
Could it make things better?
Would it make everything okay?
I could write you a song,
Full of love hope and grace.
Would you tell me what went wrong?
Could you say it to my face?
I could make a telephone call,
And listen as you cried
But I would not let you fall,
And if you did, we'd both know I tried.
I could make the world go away
But would that be what you like?
You would miss the golden sunrays
You would miss the moonlight.
I could stop all this pain
Bring it all to an end
The tears would fall like rain
On the shoulder of a dear friend
