I Could...

I Could

I could write you a letter,

But what would it say?

Could it make things better?

Would it make everything okay?

I could write you a song,

Full of love hope and grace.

Would you tell me what went wrong?

Could you say it to my face?

I could make a telephone call,

And listen as you cried

But I would not let you fall,

And if you did, we'd both know I tried.

I could make the world go away

But would that be what you like?

You would miss the golden sunrays

You would miss the moonlight.

I could stop all this pain

Bring it all to an end

The tears would fall like rain

On the shoulder of a dear friend.
