Audrey was a girl that sat in my classroom
She never said a word
She just sat there for furtively
I never noticed her until I heard the radio
Telling about the way she took her life
Today it's all upon the covers of the papers
About her folks at home
I guess her daddy's a drinker
Her mummy left her when she was just a tiny child
Tell me Audrey
Was that the first time you felt abandonment
Hold on baby don't be sorry
'Cause every day has it's ups and downs
Hold on baby they'll be sunshine
Every life has it's stormy nights
Come to think about it there are some things
I can recall about her arms
They have blue spots on them
I remember then thinking these thoughts to myself
Is it wrong to wonder about somebody else's problems
I'm not burdened with it all
Hold on baby don't be sorry
'Cause every day has it's ups and downs
Hold on baby they'll be sunshine
Every life has it's stormy nights
Oh there, there she lays down at the botton of the river
Tell me what crime did it take
That tore this girl only willingness
But I will pray
That someday she'll rise again
Well if you're up there
I hope you can see my sorrow
And pain of guilt
I never asked you how you were
But one thing I can assure you
After witnessing what has been done
I will open my heart
To the new girl that sits next door
Oh yeah
Hold on baby don't be sorry
'Cause every day has it's ups and downs
Hold on baby they'll be sunshine
Every life has it's stormy nights
Hold on baby don't be sorry
'Cause every day has it's ups and downs
Hold on baby
They'll be sunshine in your life
Oh - oh
Yeah - yeah - yeah
Uuh, Audrey, Audrey, Audrey, Audrey
