Wouldn't It Hurt

Wouldn’t it be too hard to take
Wouldn’t it hurt too much
You’re out of reach for helping hands
You’re out of straws to clutch

A thousand times I begged of you
Not to do the things I’d done
But if something would happen to you
I should have begged you a thousand and one

When the night comes falling down
I pray you’re safe and sound
I don’t know what I would do
Wouldn’t it hurt too much

As the leaves fall from the trees
And rattle across the ground
You’re out of reach for pleading words
And nowhere to be found

When the night comes falling down
I pray you’re safe and sound
I don’t know what I would do
Wouldn’t it hurt too much

I don’t know what I would do
Wouldn’t it hurt too much

I know it would hurt too much
