Can You
Can I lay by your side
right next to you
Can you comfort a fallen man's cries
cries so ever true
Mother Mary can you put in a good word tonight
as another child weeps
Will you lend your helping hand
lulling bad times off to sleep
Without her next to me
how can I be
how can I breathe
As I lay her down tonight
my heart no longer beats
Swoop down and pick me up
cradle me in all your tender love
Shine your stars in my darkened night
Let me see her everlasting light
Can I lay by your side tonight
Can your wind be in my soul
Can you stay and comfort me
til it's time to bring me home
