I Could

I could write you a letter,
But what would it say?
Could it make things better?
Would it make everything okay?

I could write you a song,
Full of love, hope, and grace.
Would you tell me what went wrong?
Could you say it to my face?

I could make a telephone call,
And listen as you cried.
But I would not let you fall,
And if you did, we'd both know I tried.

I could make the world go away,
But would that be what you like?
You would miss the sunrays.
You would miss the moonlight.

I could stop all this pain.
Bring it all to an end.
The tears would fall like rain,
On the shoulder of a dear friend
