| Audrey was a girl that sat in my classroom
|
| She never said a word she just sat there so furtively
|
| I never noticed her until I heard the radio
|
| Telling about the way she took her life
|
| Today it’s all upon the covers of the papers
|
| About her folks at home I guess her daddy is a drinker
|
| Her mummy left her when she was just a tiny child
|
| Tell me Audrey was that the first time you felt abandonment
|
| Hold on baby don’t be sorry
|
| Cause every day has it’s up’s and downs
|
| Hold on baby they’ll be sunshine
|
| Every life has it’s stormy nights
|
| Come to think about it there are some things
|
| I can recall about her arms they had blue spots on them
|
| I remember then thinking these thoughts to myself
|
| Is it wrong to wonder about somebody else’s problems
|
| I’m not burdened with at all
|
| Hold on baby don’t be sorry
|
| Cause every day has it’s up’s and downs
|
| Hold on baby they’ll be sunshine
|
| Every life has it’s stormy nights
|
| Oh there there she lays down in the button of the river
|
| Tell me what crime did it take that tore this girls only willingness |
| But I will pray that someday she’ll rise again
|
| Well if you’re there I hope you can see my sorrow and the pain of guilt
|
| I never asked you how you were
|
| But one thing I can assure you after witnessing
|
| What has been done I will open my heart to the new girl that sits next door
|
| Hold on baby don’t be sorry
|
| Cause every day has it’s up’s and downs
|
| Hold on baby they’ll be sunshine
|
| Every life has it’s stormy nights
|
| Hold on baby don’t be sorry
|
| Cause every day has it’s up’s and downs
|
| Hold on baby they’ll be sunshine in your life
