Once a mother
stood on a corner
Tears betrayed
her painted smile
She was trading
in her halo
For just enough
to feed her child
Then an old man,
cold and hungry
Saw her crying
so he stopped
AND He gave her
his one possession
A shining sil---ver
pocket watch
Theres no cross
that love wont bear
And when
youre down
to your last prayer
It will be
the saving grace
In the depths
of your despair
Theres no crossss
that love
wont bear
So the old man
found a park bench
he layed down
and went to sleep
As he drifted
into slumber
He prayed the Lord,
his soul to keep
Then the mother
with her halo
Came to him
In a dream
And he woke up
in a mansion
His silver watch
there on its chain
Theres no cross
that love wont bear
And when
youre down to your last prayer
It will be
the saving grace
In the depths
of your despair
Theres no cross
that love
wont bear
No, theres no cross
that love
wont bear
