when she laughs
she's got the power of a child in her eyes
and when you cry now
she'll hold you like a man's supposed to be held
i can't get into words how i feel
get it right in this song now
i had to set her free
needed a friend
come back to me
standing alone in the light
you could see her cry
with a smile and a wink
and a sparkle in her eyes
she calmly sighed, i will be alright
okay child you've had to take the pain
of a man in the streets
you gotta let me in
needed a friend
even just for one night
