If only you could have been my angel of mercy
Perhaps perceiving the love waiting dormant there
If only you could have been my angel of mercy
And been patient enough to lend me your ear
If only you could have been my lifebuoy of hope
And could have reached down to rescue me
If only you could have been my lifebouy of hope
With kind thoughtful eyes that really could see
If only you could have been the ladder to save me
One time realizing to toss caution to the wind
If only you could have been the ladder to save me
Looking closer to see what really was within
If only you could have tried harder to understand me
You would have realized how thankful I'd become
If only you could have tried harder to understand me
I bared my soul to you and you left me numb
If only you could have been my angel of mercy
Perhaps perceiving the love waiting dormant there
If only you could have been my angel of mercy
And been patient enough to lend me your ear
