| It's The Thought That Counts |
| Often in times of trouble |
| we don't know what to say, |
| So we choose to say nothing, |
| and sometimes run away. |
| When friends are really hurting, |
| we don't know what to do, |
| So we offer weak excuses |
| or say we're hurting too. |
| It really doesn't matter |
| what kind of gift we bring; |
| We only need to be there |
| if we don't bring a thing. |
| It truly is amazing |
| what a hug can do, |
| When heartache numbs the senses, |
| and friends depend on you. |
| There's comfort just in knowing |
| that you are not alone, |
| When tears are overflowing, |
| and hearts are cold as stone. |
| It's the loving prayers of others |
| that balance our accounts, |
| For when we measure love, |
| it's still the thought that counts. |
