lyrics

DRY YOUR EYES [words and music Nick Taylor]

You were nine .. I was ten
I wonder if you still remember when
We held hands .. first time around
I promised I would always be
With you when you needed me When all around you didn't care
And you cried out I was there
I remember how I said to you
Dry your eyes .. You'll get through

You grew up .. so did I
Sweet birds of youth who knew not how to fly
You went your way .. so did I
I promised I would stay in touch
I wanted to so very much
And when my life just fell apart
I cried to hide a broken heart
And through the tears I heard these words from you
Dry your eyes .. You'll get through

Through everything that happened to
You and me separately
There was always one thing we both knew So when our lives fell apart
You and I didn't die
You had me and I ... had you

You are old .. so am I
We sit and watch this crazy world go by
We hold hands .. as old folks do
And if I can remember to
I promise to look after you
And though our time for dreams is past
We live each day like it's our last
And through the tears the words come shining through
Dry your eyes .... I love you
