Probably one of the nicest affections in the world is that kind of affection that's there between a worldly old uncle and a very innocent young niece

Liza, won't you lay your head on my shoulder

Cry if you want to, I don't mind

Seems as if you need some love and kindness

And all I've got is time

Wiser is the way when you grow older

Nothing heals a broken heart but time

I know what it means to need a shoulder

So lay your head on mine

Wiser is the way when you grow older

Nothing heals a broken heart but time

I know what it means to need a shoulder

So lay your head on mine

I know what it means to need a shoulder

So lay your head on mine
