Woman In The Moon

(chely wright/dale dodson/jimmy melton)

All the boys he played cards with
Couldn't wait til he came
But they haven't seen him
Since i got his last name
He plays at home now
And he always wins
Those swingin' doors
Don't do nothin' for him

Cause he don't do bars anymore
That ol' jukebox
Don't turn him on like before
We dance to our radio
On our own hardwood floor
No he don't do bars anymore

He used to sit on a barstool
Keepin' sad company
Now he lays on the couch
And he watches tv
When he's wrapped up in my arms
He knows what he's found
So don't bother askin'
For him to come 'round

Cause he don't do bars anymore
That ol' jukebox
Don't turn him on like before
We dance to our radio
On our own hardwood floor
No he don't do bars anymore

No he don't do bars anymore

I spent all day long just slavin' in the kitchen
I wanted everything to be just right
Yeah, the table's dressed with all the fancy trimmin's
Won't he be surprised when he comes home tonight

Well, it's half past five but there's no need to worry
There's still lots of time after all he's always late
When he's out with her he's never in a hurry
So, i light a lonely candle and set his plate

Cause tonight he's comin' home to the last supper
He'll break the bread and drink his wine alone
I know god will forgive me
Cause he knows how much i've suffered
Lord, i'd like to have a picture of the last supper

Cause tonight he's comin' home to the last supper
He'll break the bread and drink his wine alone
I know god will forgive me
Cause he knows how much i've suffered
Lord, i'd like to have a picture of the last supper

Nobody but a fool would love you
After the way you've done me
Broke every vow you made me, broke every rule
Who'd lie awake all night, cry til you were out of sight
Loving you with all her might
Nobody but a fool

I don't know what it was that made me trust you like i did
Stars got in my eyes or either rocks got in my head
All i know was your two lips kissed me heavenly
Til yesterday those tender lips kissed goodbye to me

I put on the saddest song ignore the telephone
I go ahead and cry the make-up from my eyes
I let my mind play tricks and then
I let it fool me once again
Into thinkin' that i'll never be alright
Then when i'm no longer crazy and i'm back to my old self
I realize how good i've always felt

People tried to tell me how you'd hurt me i suppose
But i was blind as any bat and deaf as any post
You clawed me like a tiger, i loved you like a lamb
And knowing i still do just shows me up for what i am

Nobody but a fool would love you
After the way you've done me
Broke every vow you made me, broke every rule
Who'd lie awake all night, cry til you were out of sight
Loving you with all her might
Nobody but a fool

Nobody but a fool
Nobody but a fool

It breaks my hear to see
That you're unhappy here with me
The hurt you've tried to hide can't help but show
I could cling to the past
But i'm afraid it wouldn't last
And i love you enough to let you go

Don't think that i'm all through
Or that i'm givin' up on you
Our love's the most important thing i know
But if i set you free
It just might bring you back to me
And i love you enough to let you go

I'll stand and hold the door
And watch you walk away
And welcome you back with open arms
If you come back someday
But for now it would be wrong
To keep tryin' to hold on
And i love you enough to let you go

I'll stand and hold the door
And watch you walk away
And welcome you back with open arms
If you come back someday
But for now it would be wrong
To keep tryin' to hold on
And i love you enough to let you go

I sat bored at my piano
When he walked into the bar
When he nodded from his table
I said i know just how things are
Cause the only time i see you
Is when you've made your lady cry
And you always say you'll only stay
Till all her tears are dry

Now for months i've watched you wrestle
With that other side of you
You're scared one day you'll lose your temper
Yes and then you'll lose her too
Oh they say that love is brutal
And for years she's paid the price
It might be too late you best not wait
Till all her tears are dry

Chorus

You better run to her and fall on your knees
Swear that you'll be the man
She's wanted you to be
Then by the grace of god
She'll let you lay there by her side
And hold her gently
Till all her tears are dry

(repeat chorus)

Hold her gently
Till all her tears are dry
