I heard the news today 

Billy's gone away 

Left us all for good 

No one understood 

You only had to say 

I would understand 

You only had to say 

Whatever come what may 



I was feeling low 

You called and you were too 

We'd meet Saturday 

It happened on Wednesday 

You only had to say 

It's sad 

I would understand 

I don't want you brave 

A truce we made today 



If you're feeling sad 

On me you can depend 

You only have to say
