So close in thought I wish to be
With someone who can hear
My heart's sad cry, its silent weep,
Caused from despair I fear.
For life is often so hard to take,
It deals such a painful blow,
Then no one is there with whom to share,
No one who wants to know,
For everyone has their problems too,
Enough gloom and despair of their own.
They have no time for me to share
My thoughts I so want known.
I pray the day will quickly come,
The day when I will see
The person who will always listen
And with all their heart love me.
