p style="text-align: center;"For he was too weak/p
p style="text-align: center;"But he heard my cries/p
p style="text-align: center;"And listened when I'd speak/p

p style="text-align: center;"Every tear I cried fell onto his heart/p
p style="text-align: center;"And he'd try to tell me/p

p style="text-align: center;"Gently, quietly, he whispered, "John,"/p
