Lyric Woman in Every Man s Life

(Bob McDill)

He s in some bar a drinkin she s home alone again
He s in town buyin rounds and laughin with his friends
His supper s on the table still he ain t come home
She s lookin out the window with a front porch light on.

She s the woman in every man s life
A candle in the window on the darkest night
A sister and a mother a lover and a wife
She s a woman in every man s life.

She s a standin in the kitchen ironin his shirt
Tears fall on the collar like little drops of hurt
When he s spent his money he ll stumble home again
And she ll get out bed and turn on light and let him in.

She s the woman in every man s life
A candle in the window on the darkest night
A sister and a mother a lover and a wife
She s a woman in every man s life.

Somehow she defends him again and again
She ll stand up to her mother and hide it from her friends
And somehow she forgives him for all he s guilty of
And that takes a lot of woman that takes a lot of love.

She s the woman in every man s life
A candle in the window on the darkest night
A sister and a mother a lover and a wife
She s a woman in every man s life.

She s the woman in every man s life
A candle in the window on the darkest night
A sister and a mother a lover and a wife
She s a woman in every man s life...
