I wish I had a song to sing To take your tears away And see the smile come creeping Back into your eye If I had a dream to bring To see you through your day And keep you while you're sleeping I'd put it by your side If we could only steal tomorrow And put it in your life and I'd be satisfied Close your eyes, my darling And never fear the night Be sure I'll be beside you Till the morning light And everyday anew must stay God knows we need the sight But still I'll try to guide you Be it wrong or right If we could only steal tomorrow And put it in your life and I'd be satisfied But all I have are thoughts to borrow I'd place them in your hand And hope you'll understand
