Your Worries And Troubles Are Mine

The Stanley Brothers · Other Songs - The Stanley Brothers

People keep asking and wondering why

There's always a tear in your eye

You've lived a hard life one I'd rather not lead

I ought to be glad it's not me



But when tears fill your eyes and clouds hide the sky

Your heart is so sad and you have a worried mind

You'll know my heart is with you and my love for you ain't blind

Your worries and troubles are mine



Now the nights are hard to get through as I wait restlessly

My letters are written in vain

Unsure of your feelings my tears fall endlessly

And my heart's beating rhythm with the rain

Your Worries And Troubles Are Mine
