If You Should
If you should happen to pass me by
And hear me gently sigh,
Then stop and ask me, Why?
A Few modest words in my own behalf.
If you did by chance take note
Of a quiet tear upon my cheek,
Then pause and ask me, Why?
A Few modest words in my own behalf.
If you should see my shoulders slumped
As though bearing a great weight,
Then come and ask me, Why?
A Few modest words in my own behalf.
If you should spot me all alone
In need of a companion,
Then approach and ask me, Why?
A Few modest words in my own behalf.
If you should notice me lost
Wandering uncertain of direction,
Then take my hand and ask me, Why?
A Few modest words in my own behalf.
If you would do these simple things for me
Would you not do them for a stranger
Without asking, Why?
