We Helped Each Other Out (for A While) Lyrics - Bobby Bare

Remember when I saw you standing slightly cryin' empty-handed 

With no one that you could call your own 

Looking up to someone somewhere asking for life with no despair 

Begging for the world to leave you alone 

Yes I shouldn't have butted in but you looked as if you could use a friend 

And I'd lost one myself and was looking about 

Remember it was kinda crazy I held my hand out you took it baby 

For a while we helped each other out 

Remember how I dried every tear that you cried 

And gave you love to trust beyond a doubt 

And whenever I was down you made me laugh brought me around 

Yeah for a while we helped each other out 

And early one day in the morning sun that time came we knew would come 

And in our hearts well there was love no more 

I guess we're just two of that kind that look for life but never find 

The love in mind that we were looking for 

But I always have the warm spot for you cause at one time I adored you 

And if I pass this way again I'll shout 

May be years 'fore I come through but when I do I'll call on you 

Cause at one time we helped each other out 

At one time we helped each other out
