Brush Away the Tear
Do I see a tear there in your eye --
Reflecting broken dreams from days gone by?
Was it caused by something I have done?
Or do you feel you’re not my only one?
Can I help you drive away the pain
And let you know how you’ve not loved in vain?
Let me change your heartache to a sigh
And brush away the tear there in your eye.
Do I see a frown there on your face –
Reflecting pain that time cannot erase?
Is your love for me now turning cold –
Or have the memories grown hard to hold?
Come and let me hold you close to me.
Don’t let our love be just a memory.
Let me stay with you for just a while
And help you change that frown into a smile.
Time is kinder
When you’re here with me.
The mem’ries blind me so
You’re all my heart can see.
Come and let me take you by the hand –
Please listen and just try to understand –
Love like ours will never ever die –
So, brush away the tear there in your eye.
