If you see her say hello
   If she asks how I'm doing let her know
   If she says is he O.K. say it's slow
   But he's coming round
   And if you sleep with her
   Through the darkest night
   And you wake beside her in the early light
   Kiss her gently like I might
   And bring her round
  
   If she stumbles if she trips and slows
   In the darkest rain and through the driving snow
   Bring her straight here
   I'll be on my own
   But bring her round
  
   And every dream and every shadow that you heard
   Makes you want to cry
   'Cause it's a big bad world
  
   If you want her let her know
   If she's leaving let her go
   All of this will pass but it passes slow
   And you'll come around
   When the wind blows through October skies
   And you wake up in the cold twilight
   And you stretch your hand out and there's
   nothing there but the night
   And the darkness is all around
   If you see her say hello
   If she asks how I'm doing let her know
   If she says is he O.K. say it slow
   But he's coming round
  
   When the rain falls from the blackened sky
   There's a heart breaking but it feels alright
   See I should have done something but I let it slide
   And I'll come around
  
   Every dream and every shadow that you've heard
   Don't make it cry like you want to die
   In this big bad world.
