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
