She'll be the first to say that she was blind
To how much life can hurt sometimes
She learned the hard way that life ain't fair
It's times like these you gasp for air
She looks at pictures in the magazines
It's all smiles and lipstick, and beauty queens
That simple life makes her cry because
She remembers when hers was
And one more tear falls in the river
She watches it wash away
And one more prayer flies up to heaven
Just begging for a change
And one more song no one else is singing
She's got to sing it anyway alone
Another sun becomes a moon
She makes it through another day
She makes it through another day
For me, I think the hardest part
Is just watching while she falls apart
I try, but we both know it's true
There ain't a damn thing I can do
And one more tear falls in the river
She watches it wash away
And one more prayer flies up to heaven
Just begging for a change
And one more song no one else is singing
She's got to sing it anyway alone
Another sun becomes a moon
She makes it through another day
She makes it through another day
Every now and then I hear her laugh
It makes me think she might be coming back
Tell her we miss her, she's gone, gone
She's gone again
And one more tear falls in the river
She watches it wash away
And one more prayer flies up to heaven
Just begging for a change
And one more song no one else is singing
She's got to sing it anyway alone
Another sun becomes a moon
She makes it through another day
She makes it through another day
She makes it through another day
