One sweet surprise at my door
You are no dream like I had before
But you cry, and I'm not sure
Why you've come here

I don't have much to give to you
What I say will sure be true
What I will do is dry every tear

And if you know how I feel
And if you believe my love's for real
Real enough to touch
And draw near

Then reach out, and hold me close
And in time, you will know
That I will dry every tear

My friends all say I move too slow
Well, I quess that's just how I go
Well, I know that I loved you
For so many years

And there are so much to hold inside
That some nights alone I cry
With no one to dry every tear

And if you know how I feel
And if you believe my love's for real
Real enough to touch
And draw near

Than reach out, and hold me close
And in time, you will know
That I will dry every tear
Yes, I will dry every tear
