Lyrics

There's a sadness in your smile
and a fair degree of hurting in your eyes
you're trying hard to fake it
but laughing like you do is a poor disguise
why don't you let it out
it's times like this that crying does some good
I'd really like to hold you
but somehow I just don't think that I should

So I'll just do the best I can
to be the friend I know you're needing
and even though my heart is pleading
I won't let it rule my head
I'll just do the best I can
To give you someone to rely on
here's shoulder you can cry on
I'm just a man but I'll do the best I can

You don't need to be confused
you need all the help that I'm prepared to give
to get you through tomorrow
so you can see you've your whole life to live
I'll stand by and bide my time
and try to hide the longing in my eyes
with a hope filled heart I'll be there anytime
you'd like to try my love for size

and I'll just do the best I can
to be the friend I know you're needing
and even though my heart is pleading
I won't let it rule my head
Perhaps in time you'll see in me
the love I know you need so dearly
But until you can see it clearly
I'll be your friend and do the best I can
