Louise's Song

_ _ _ |_ _ _ |_ _ _ |_ I would have_ been_ here_ sooner_ Your note came yesterday-ay__ But_ yesterday_ was crazy_ There was much to square away_ Then I tried to come_ this morning_ But the old car wouldn't run-un_ And the buses_ run so slowly_ There was nothing_ to_ be done_ But you_  you don't need my troubles_ I'm here now_ anyway-ay__ And there's nothing_ left behind_ me_ To say I cannot_ stay_ When I told you_ that I love you_ I said' "Call me_ anytim-ime_ And especially when_ you need someone_ When things get out of line"__ And oh__    there's a bur_-ning in your eyes__ And the hand you put in mine__ won't stop trembling_ Oh___ tell me what you're going through__ 'Cause_ all I want to do-o__ is be_ protecting_ Oh_ all those shadows_ on your face_ They look so out of place__ they should be sun_-light_ I want to take you_ when the smile_ returns_ And keep_ you from the night_ And wake up_ to see-ee me_ in your eyes____ _ _ _ |_ _ _ |_ _ _ |_ I don't know how we happened_ When we're kept so_ far apar-art__ There sure are lots worse prisons_ Than the kind_ with iron bars__ And it al_-most makes me crazy_ To see_ you hurt insi-ide__ When you're beautiful_ and really need_ To let things_ open wide__ And oh__    there's a bur_-ning in your eyes__ And the hand you put in mine__ won't stop trembling_ Oh___ tell me what you're going through__ 'Cause_ all I want to do-o__ is be_ protecting_ Oh_ all those shadows_ on your face_ They look so out of place__ they should be sun_-light_ I want to take you_ when the smile_ returns_ And keep_ you from the night_ And wake up_ to see-ee me_ in your eyes____ I want to take you_ when the smile_ returns_ And keep_ you from the night_ And wake up_ to see-ee me_ in your eyes____
