Come To Me, My Gentle Friend

Come to me, my gentle friend
I see the tears forming in your eyes
Come to me, my gentle friend
I see your soul; I hear your cries.

I see the sorrow that you feel
I see the pain that you endure
I hear trembling in your voice
And I know your heart, so pure.

Come to me, my gentle friend
Let me hold you in my arms
Come to me, my gentle friend
I’ll protect you from life’s harms.

I’ll wipe the tears that are gathering
In your soulful, sweet blue eyes,
I’ll kiss your furrowed brow softly
And tell you things that are wise.

Come to me, my gentle friend,
Let me see, once more your smile,
Come to me, my gentle friend,
Try to make this pain worthwhile.

I see the light is coming back
To your newly-healing soul,
The smile is creeping onto your lips
And your cup is nearly half full.

Speak of it, my gentle friend,
This thing that causes you pain,
Tell me everything, my gentle friend
So you may be happy once again.

The darkness, now, has gone away
The sun is a golden crown in the sky.
Your faith restored, your heart healed
Once again, to love, you are ready to try.

Go find love, my gentle friend
To lavish your life with wealth
Go find love, my gentle friend,
And the richness of good health.
