Take Away My Pain

I was sittin' on the edge of his bed Starin' at the headlines on the paper He said "Look at poor Gene Kelly" I guess he won't be singin' in the rain You can take away my heroes Can you take away my pain Take away my pain Leave the cold outside Please don't let it rain Don't stumble on my pride Take away my pain I'm not frightened any more Just stay with me tonight I'm tired of this fight Soon I'll be knockin' at your door She was standin' by the edge of his bed Starin' at the message on their faces He said "What else can you do babe? I guess I won't be comin' home again They just took away all my promises Make them take away my pain, oh Take away my pain Leave the cold outside Please don't let it rain Don't stumble on my pride Take away my pain I'm not frightened any more Just stay with me tonight I'm tired of this fight Soon I'll be knockin' at your door His final scene The actor bows And all those years Are gone somehow The crowd applauds The curtain falls There'll be no longer After all I was sittin' on the edge of my bed Starin' at the paper through my tears I was sayin' goodbye to Jesus World you left will never be the same You took away my hero Will you take away my pain Take away my pain Let the cold inside It's time to let it rain There's nothin' left to hide Take away my pain I'm not frightened any more I'm learnin' to survive Without you in my life 'Til you come knockin' at my door, oh
