Come now baby girl 
Tell me what you've seen
inside your crazy world
this never ending dream
i didn't want to be the one to tell you
life 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' want to have to see you cry
I think we both know why
well maybe its not right

Hold your head up high
dry your cryin 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

come now precious child
you've got a reason to live  
could you give me a smile
could you ever forgive

didn't want to be the one to tell ya 
life isn't always what it seems
i think you know what i mean
didn't want to be the one to tell ya
didn't want to see you cry 
I think we both know why 

hold your head up high
dry your cryin 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 forsakin place
we can leave without a trace
what do you say 
whats standing in your way

hold your head up high
dry your cryin 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
we'll be safe in the sweet by and by
