Quietly There

[Sounding key of Bb; Tracy plays in standard tuning, full capo at 1st fret and partial "Esus" capo (covers ADG strings) at 3rd fret] 

If I touch you gently, will you see the way the pain you feel touches me?
You speak of emptiness inside, and say your trust in love has died
And my heart bleeds tears of sympathy

I can know the sadness in your soul, but I can't change its power to control
You act the scenes out in your mind, the same sad ending every time
In a play with an eternal curtain call

I can't change things in the past, turn back time, and make love last
Or replace the things lost of your soul
But if you knew how much I care would that ease the pain you bear?
Would you believe my love will always be quietly there for you?

If I offer my love and hold you near, will that make those scars all disappear?
Could you learn to feel secure sharing love that's real and pure
Could it fill the void and take away your fear?

I can't change things in the past, turn back time, and make love last
Or replace the things lost of your soul
But if you knew how much I care would that ease the pain you bear?
Would you believe my love will always be quietly there for you?

Can you take my love, my gift to you?   I need to feel its healing power too

I can't change things in the past, turn back time, and make love last
Or replace the things lost of your soul
But if you knew how much I care would that ease the pain you bear?
Would you believe my love will always be quietly there for you?
