Come now baby girl

Tell me what you've seen

It's such a crazy world

It's never heard me dream



I didn't want to be the one to tell ya

Love isn't always what it seems

I think you know what I mean

I didn't want to be the one to tell ya

Didn't want to have to see you cry

I think we both know why



But maybe its not right



Hold your head up high

Dry your crying eyes

Take my hand, I'll help you stand

We'll be safe in the sweet by and by

We'll be safe in the sweet by and by

By and by



Come now precious child

You've got a reason to live

Could you give me a smile

Could you ever forgive



I didn't want to be the one to tell ya

Love isn't always what it seems

I think you know what I mean

I didn't want to be the one to tell ya

Didn't want to have to see you cry

I think we both know why



But maybe its not right



Hold your head up high

Dry your crying eyes

Take my hand, I'll help you stand

We'll be safe in the sweet by and by

We'll be safe in the sweet by and by



It's our only escape from

This God forsaken place

We can leave without a trace

What do you say

What's standing in your way



Hold your head up high

Dry your crying eyes

Take my hand I'll help you stand

We'll be safe in the sweet by and by

We'll be safe in the sweet by and by
