"Rest Your Love" lyrics

"Rest Your Love"

Maybe you don't know me
Anymore than I know you
And I wouldn't blame you
If you walked away
I've been watching you all evening
With the teardrops in your eyes
And it touches me
Much more that I can say
You know I hate to
Think that someone
Could have hurt someone like you
And at times like this
I'd be right by your side

Lay your troubles on my shoulder
Put your worries in my pocket
Rest your love on me a while
Oh, lay your troubles on my shoulder
Put your worries in my pocket
Rest your love on me a while

Saw you in the corner
On the morning I walked in
Saw your lonely face
Across the room
No I won't forget it
And the way it might have been
Why did you have to
Leave so soon
You know I hate to
Think that someone
Could have loved
You more than me
And if I were him
I'd be right by your side

Lay your troubles on my shoulder
Put your worries in my pocket
Rest your love on me a while
Oh, lay your troubles on my shoulder
Put your worries in my pocket
Rest your love on me a while

How long must I wait
For the last day to be here
And the last chance to call
Just to have you holding me again
How long honey loving don't come
I was there when you left
Just didn't know how to begin

Oh, lay your troubles on my shoulder
Put your worries in my pocket
Rest your love on me a while
Oh, lay your troubles on my shoulder
Put your worries in my pocket
Rest your love on me a while
