Lyrics
I'LL STAY NEAR
Written by Margo B. Smith
Dear friend of mine I will not pretend
To have all the answers
Or even comprehend
But I know you are suffering
I can see your tears
Let me stand beside you
Til this sorrow disappears
Chorus
I am here for you I'll stay near
Dear friend I'm here for you
I'll stay near
I do not know the perfect thing to say
But here are my arms
Or my hands for us to pray
I want to be near you
To lend you my ears
To uplift and console you
And provide much needed cheer
Chorus
I am here for you I'll stay near
Dear friend I'm here for you
I'll stay near
If you want me to be silent
Not a whisper will be heard
Or maybe hold you close to me
And speak some loving words
If you want to be alone
You can tell me to leave
If you want me here
I will stay as long as you need
As you need
By now you must know
You can lean on me
Just lay your head here
You have my empathy
Others share your pain
Their feelings are sincere
You are not alone
Let me calm all your fears
Chorus
I am here for you I'll stay near
Dear friend I'm here for you
I'll stay near
