Please Tell Me
Please tell me why you look so sad;
I'll lend a friendly ear.
I know the worries that you've had
Have made you shed a tear.
Life can run short on tenderness,
And often isn't fair;
But talking can relieve the stress;
I know, for I've been there.
It rains on each of us, sometimes,
But know you're not alone.
We all have days when nothing rhymes,
With troubles to bemoan.
Now tell me, please, what bothers you.
I'll help you all I can.
Talking, we might work it through,
And find a winning plan.
