(For a While) We Helped Each Other Out Lyrics by Vicki Lawrence

The Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia: The Complete Bell Recordings

1973

Remember when I saw you standing
Slightly crying and empty-handed
With no one that you could call your own
Looking up to something somewhere
Praying for life with no despair
Begging that the world leave you alone

Well, I guess I shouldn't have butted in
But it looked as though you could use a friend
And I'd lost one myself and was looking about
Remember it was kind of crazy
I held my hand out; you took it, baby
And for a while we helped each other out

Remember how I dried every tear that you cried
And I gave you love to trust beyond a doubt
Whenever I was down
You made me laugh, brought me around, baby
For a while we helped each other out

Then early one day in the morning sun
That time came we knew would come
When in our hearts, there was love no more
I guess we're just two of that kind
That look for love, but never find
The love in mind that we were looking for

But I'll always have a warm spot for you
'Cause at one time I adored you
And if I pass this way again, I'll shout
It may be a year before I come through
But when I do, I'll call on you
'Cause at one time we helped each other out

It may be a year before I come through
But when I do, I'll call on you
'Cause at one time we helped each other out
