I have just been listening to Paul Potts sing "Everybody Hurts".  I think thge words, which I copy here are most appropriate in view of recent poats.

Of course, one should listen to it to achieve the full impact.

These are the words: I am particulary moved by the line which I have asterisked...I feel I have many friends here at Poe...

Harry

"Everybody Hurts"

When the day is long and the night, the night is yours alone,
When you're sure you've had enough of this life, well hang on.
Don't let yourself go, everybody cries and everybody hurts sometimes.

Sometimes everything is wrong. Now it's time to sing along.
When your day is night alone, (hold on, hold on)
If you feel like letting go, (hold on)
When you think you've had too much of this life, well hang on.

**Everybody hurts. Take comfort in your friends.**
Everybody hurts. Don't throw your hand. Oh, no. Don't throw your hand.
If you feel like you're alone, no, no, no, you are not alone

If you're on your own in this life, the days and nights are long,
When you think you've had too much of this life to hang on.

Well, everybody hurts sometimes,
Everybody cries. And everybody hurts sometimes.
And everybody hurts sometimes. So, hold on, hold on.
Hold on, hold on. Hold on, hold on. Hold on, hold on. (repeat & fade)
(Everybody hurts. You are not alone.)

I love that song Harry! It was recorded by Brian May after the death of that wonderful singer Freddie Mercury, I can listen to it all day. Thanks for posting the words.
