[Intro] [Verse 1] I saw you sitting at the table With your head down in your hands Said they let you go this morning After twenty years of plans You said baby, I'm a failure I can't give you what you need But I've loved you through the good times Now it's your turn to lean on me [Chorus] Lean on this old heart It's been waiting for you all along When the whole world falls apart I'll be the place where you belong Lean on this old heart Let it carry you when you're not strong I was yours right from the start Lean on this old heart [Verse 2] You held me when my mama left us You held me when the money ran dry You stood up in every storm, love Never once did you ask me why So don't you hang your head in sorrow Don't you dare to turn away There's a sunrise in tomorrow And I'll be here, come what may [Chorus] Lean on this old heart It's been waiting for you all along When the whole world falls apart I'll be the place where you belong Lean on this old heart Let it carry you when you're not strong I was yours right from the start Lean on this old heart [Bridge] Baby, I don't need the diamonds I don't need a fancy car All I need is you beside me Just exactly as you are [Final Chorus] Lean on this old heart It's been waiting for you all along When the whole world falls apart I'll be the place where you belong Lean on this old heart Let it carry you when you're not strong I was yours right from the start Lean on this old heart [Outro] [End]
