Lyric The Woman Who Loves You (P Judd, T Finn) 6:55

Don t stand a chance
Without romance
Keep the graveside warm for me
Ever since you shot through
I ve crooned for you

Because the woman who loves you
Is the woman, you need, need to hold
But the woman, who loved me
Well she s dead - wow ohoh!

Without her charm
Arm in arm, lovers lane would be just a memory
Because the woman who loved me
Well she s dead

Well I wanted to buy her a diamond ring
And I wanted to buy her the kitchen sink
You know I wanted to buy her everything
See how she wobbles from side to side
See how she wobbles my lovely bride

Meet me wife, she s true to life, I love her
Yes I do, pushing daisies six feet down beneath her
Now me hair is falling out
And there s not much room to doubt
Life has left me cold
Ninety five and getting old
That s half the story told

Because the woman who loves you
Is the woman, the woman you need, need to hold
But the woman, the woman, who loves me,
well she s dead, dead, yeah yeah...

(*spoon solo*)

Oh how we danced, and when she glanced
Then I, I knew she cared for me
Ever since you ve been gone, it s been so very long
Because the woman who loves you
Is the woman you need, need to hold
But the woman, the woman who loved me
Well she s dead, dead to the world
She s dead to the world, yeah!
