Take Away My Pain

I was sitting on the edge of his bed 

Staring at the headlines on the paper 

He said, "Look at poor Gene Kelly 

I guess he won't be singing 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 anymore 

Just stay with me tonight 

I'm tired of this fight 

Soon I'll be knocking at your door 

She was standing by the edge of his bed 

Staring at the message on their faces 

He said, "What else can you do, babe? 

I guess I won't be coming home again" 

They just took away all my promises 

Make them 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 anymore 

Just stay with me tonight 

I'm tired of this fight 

Soon I'll be knocking at your door 

His final scene 

The actor bows 

And all those years 

Are gone somehow 

The crowd applauds 

The curtain falls 

I was standing by the edge of the water 

I noticed my reflection in the waves 

Then I saw you looking back at me 

And I knew that for a moment 

You were calling out my name 

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 nothing left to hide 

Take away my pain 

I'm not frightened anymore 

I'm learning to survive 

Without you in my life 

Til you come knocking at my door...
