Probably one of the nicest affections in the world
Is that feeling that's there between
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 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
