Tell Me

Tell Me I ask you Mom to tell me true Tell me just what I should do To make this pain just go away To make it go to some other place I know I cannot bear it alone And since He has seen fit to take you home That you could see a way to try To tell my Heart not to cry I ask you Dad to tell me how How and what to do right now I know that I should face this pain Though I feel my heart is slain Like the man you taught me to be Without passion is the key To facing pain is what you’d say If you were here with me today Use the strength you have inside To tell your Heart not to cry. I ask you friend to tell to me What path I should choose to see The path of my own sorrow deep Or for her happiness to keep That it be enough that she be blessed With the finding of a love to end her quest My own tears to put aside And tell my Heart it need not cry. Now my God I pray unto you For the righteous thing to do I know it’s a far better thing. To be concerned with not my pain But to take another’s pain away And so into my memories she slips With lump in throat, my heartbeat skipped I say to her a fond goodbye He has made my heart cease to cry.
