"The Woman In Every Man's Life" lyrics - BOBBY BARE

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
