Lyrics

He's an old man, a hard man, can't hold on to nothing
Not his razor, not his temper, not his tongue
She's a young nurse, a sweet girl, comes in every morning
Makes his bed, shaves his face, cleans him up
She's been there three years now
Ain't seen one of his kids ever come around
So she drives in on her Sundays off
To play a game of gin and take him for a walk
And for a little while he forgets to be mad
He remembers how to tell a joke and make a pretty girl laugh
The hurt goes away and the lonely fades
With just a smile and the gift of a little time
Nothing eases human pain like human kind
She's the new kid in a new town for the third time in two years
And high school can be cruel when you're different
And he can tell when she walks in
She's a trust-nobody who could use a friend
He takes the seat beside her no one wants to take
And in the lunchroom that's a pretty big thing
And for a little while she forgets to be scared
She remembers for a minute what it's like to fit in somewhere
The hurt goes away and the lonely fades
With just a smile and the gift of a little time
Nothing eases human pain like human kind
And it don't take much to help someone, to save someone
For a little while we forget to give up
We remember what it's like when someone walks this road with us
The hurt goes away and the lonely fades
With just a smile and the gift of a little time
'Cause nothing eases human pain like human kind
Human kind
