(For a While) We Helped Each Other Out

Remember when I saw you standing Slightly crying and empty-handed With no one that you could call your own Looking up to something somewhere Praying for life with no despair Begging that the world leave you alone Well, I guess I shouldn't have butted in But it looked as though you could use a friend And I'd lost one myself and was looking about Remember it was kind of crazy I held my hand out; you took it, baby And for a while we helped each other out Remember how I dried every tear that you cried And I gave you love to trust beyond a doubt Whenever I was down You made me laugh, brought me around, baby For a while we helped each other out Then early one day in the morning sun That time came we knew would come When in our hearts, there was love no more I guess we're just two of that kind That look for love, but never find The love in mind that we were looking for But I'll always have a warm spot for you 'Cause at one time I adored you And if I pass this way again, I'll shout It may be a year before I come through But when I do, I'll call on you 'Cause at one time we helped each other out It may be a year before I come through But when I do, I'll call on you 'Cause at one time we helped each other out
