I HEARD IT SAY

 

I came upon a broken heart,

   It was a sadness I never knew –

Then in the quietness I heard it say:

   “Love is the reason I am blue!”

 

No one knows my hurt and pain,

   And who am I to blame –

All the tears that I have cried,

   Everyone, I can call by name!

 

So, here I sit in the darkness,

   Hoping that love will come by –

Looking back at all the years

   I find, without love I will die!

 

Then in the quietness I heard it say:

 “Someone, make sadness go away!”
