(For a While) We Helped Each Other Out

Remember when I saw you standing

Slightly crying and empty-handed

With no one that you could call your own

Looking up to something somewhere

Praying for life with no despair

Begging that the world leave you alone

Well, I guess I shouldn't have butted in

But it looked as though you could use a friend

And I'd lost one myself and was looking about

Remember it was kind of crazy

I held my hand out; you took it, baby

And for a while we helped each other out

Remember how I dried every tear that you cried

And I gave you love to trust beyond a doubt

Whenever I was down

You made me laugh, brought me around, baby

For a while we helped each other out

Then early one day in the morning sun

That time came we knew would come

When in our hearts, there was love no more

I guess we're just two of that kind

That look for love, but never find

The love in mind that we were looking for

But I'll always have a warm spot for you

'Cause at one time I adored you

And if I pass this way again, I'll shout

It may be a year before I come through

But when I do, I'll call on you

'Cause at one time we helped each other out

It may be a year before I come through

But when I do, I'll call on you

'Cause at one time we helped each other out
