Come now baby girl   Tell me what you've seen   It's such a crazy world   It's never heard me dream      I didn't want to be the one to tell ya    Love isn't always what it seems   I think you know what I mean   I didn't want to be the one to tell ya    Didn't want to have to see you cry    I think we both know why      But maybe its not right      Hold your head up high   Dry your crying eyes   Take my hand, I'll help you stand    We'll be safe in the sweet by and by   We'll be safe in the sweet by and by   By and by      Come now precious child   You've got a reason to live   Could you give me a smile   Could you ever forgive      I didn't want to be the one to tell ya    Love isn't always what it seems   I think you know what I mean   I didn't want to be the one to tell ya    Didn't want to have to see you cry   I think we both know why      But maybe its not right      Hold your head up high   Dry your crying eyes   Take my hand, I'll help you stand    We'll be safe in the sweet by and by   We'll be safe in the sweet by and by      It's our only escape from    This God forsaken place   We can leave without a trace   What do you say    What's standing in your way       Hold your head up high   Dry your crying eyes   Take my hand I'll help you stand    We'll be safe in the sweet by and by   We'll be safe in the sweet by and by
