Wipe Away My Tears

I need somebody to wipe away my tears I need somebody to brush aside these fears I went to bed with the night light on I woke up and you’re still gone I need somebody to wipe away my tears I need somebody to wipe away these tears All of those words we said in haste Forgotten now as I lie and wait I need somebody to wipe away my tears I keep hearing the words my mother said – I need somebody Stuck like record inside my head – I need someone Make your peace before you go to bed You went and left before we had time Now I don’t know what’s running through your mind I need somebody to wipe away my tears I need someone to hold me close and say – I need somebody There’s no good reason for you to feel this way – I need someone I’m back home now let’s start again It’s the middle of the night almost quarter to four I ain’t heard that key in the door I need somebody to wipe away my tears I need somebody to brush aside these fears I need somebody to wipe away I need someone to wipe away These fears – need somebody to wipe away, need somebody to wipe These tears
