Audrey was a girl that sat in my classroom
she never said a word she just sat there so furtively
I never noticed her until I heard the radio
telling about the way she took her life
today it`s all upon the covers of the papers
about her folks at home I guess her daddy is a drinker
her mummy left her when she was just a tiny child
tell me Audrey was that the first time you felt abandonment
Hold on baby don`t be sorry
cause every day has it`s up`s and downs
Hold on baby they`ll be sunshine
every life has it`s stormy nights
Come to think about it there are some things
I can recall about her arms they had blue spots on them
I remember then thinking these thoughts to myself
Is it wrong to wonder about somebody else`s problems
I`m not burdened with at all
Hold on baby don`t be sorry
cause every day has it`s up`s and downs
Hold on baby they`ll be sunshine
every life has it`s stormy nights
Oh there there she lays down in the button of the river
tell me what crime did it take that tore this girls only willingness
but I will pray that someday she`ll rise again
Well if you`re there I hope you can see my sorrow and the pain of guilt
I never asked you how you were
But one thing I can assure you after wittnessing
what has been done I will open my heart to the new girl that sits next door
Hold on baby don`t be sorry
cause every day has it`s up`s and downs
Hold on baby they`ll be sunshine
every life has it`s stormy nights
Hold on baby don`t be sorry
cause every day has it`s up`s and downs
Hold on baby they`ll be sunshine in your life
