Take Away My Pain
I was sitting on the edge of his bedStaring at the headlines on the paperHe said, 'Look at poor Gene KellyI guess he won't be singing in the rain.'You can take away my heroesCan you take away my pain
Take away my painLeave the cold outsidePlease don't let it rainDon't stumble on my prideTake away my painI'm not frightened anymoreJust stay with me tonightI'm tired of this fightSoon I'll be knocking at your door
She was standing by the edge of his bedStaring at the message on their facesHe said, 'What else can you do, babe?I guess I won't be coming home again.'They just took away all my promisesMake them take away my pain
Take away my painLeave the cold outsidePlease don't let it rainDon't stumble on my prideTake away my painI'm not frightened anymoreJust stay with me tonightI'm tired of this fightSoon I'll be knocking at your door
His final sceneThe actor bowsAnd all those yearsAre gone somehowThe crowd applaudsThe curtain falls
I was standing by the edge of the waterI noticed my reflection in the wavesThen I saw you looking back at meAnd I knew that for a momentYou were calling out my nameYou took away my heroWill you take away my pain
Take away my painLet the cold insideIt's time to let it rainThere's nothing left to hideTake away my painI'm not frightened anymoreI'm learning to surviveWithout you in my lifeTil you come knocking at my door
