The moon is high
The birds have all gone to sleep
The day has died
But that's no reason to weep

I'm a big man, steady too
But am I strong enough just to carry you?
'Cause you've been swept in burdens
That only you can elude

When you came to me that night
Feeling small and seeming
Slightly out of order
You said "make this go over"

You just got to
Lean on days to come
Lean on the good times to come
You've got to wake up in the morning
Just to hear that morning song
And think of all that you've got
And not what you've not

An old man said to me the other day:
"Just before I go to sleep
I kneel and I pray
I thank for all the good things
That come my way"

'Cause, baby I'm not denying
'Cause even I tend to melt
We all need a little crying
Just like we need to be held

When you came to me that night
Feeling small and seeming
Slightly out of order
You said "make this go over"

You just got to
Lean on days to come
Lean on the good times to come
You've got to wake up in the morning
Just to hear that morning song
And think of all that you've got
And not what you've not

The crying just stopped
My baby just stopped
