[NARRATION:]

Probably one of the nicest affections in the world

Is that feeling that's there between a worldly old

Uncle and 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 grown older

Nothing heals a broken heart but time

I know what it means to need a shoulder

So lay your head on mine.
