Like a summer wind I’m walking with you warm
Like a bay out on the ocean you can keep me from a storm
But now your face shows signs of coming rain
Mary what can I do to ease your pain
‘Cause Mary, I can’t bear to see you cry
Mary, wipe the tears out of your eyes
Say the word and I’ll make it right
Mary, you don’t need to cry tonight
You don’t need to cry tonight
Like a ship movin’ out to sea
The hurting in your eyes is plain for me to see
I’ve got the time to be with you awhile
So Mary dry your tears, let me see you smile
‘Cause Mary, I can’t bear to see you cry
Mary, wipe the tears out of your eyes
Say the word and I’ll make it right
Mary, you don’t need to cry tonight
You don’t need to cry tonight
You’re as gentle as the waves rollin’ in
The time for me to go is coming once again
I won’t be gone long just like the moon
Though you can’t see me, you know I’ll be back soon
‘Cause Mary, I can’t bear to see you cry
Mary, wipe the tears out of your eyes
Say the word and I’ll make it right
Mary, you don’t need to cry tonight
You don’t need to cry tonight
