You were so beautiful, Like a child so young and full of life. Seems a hundred years ago You saw everything So much more tragedy than good You even watched the world grow cold
And even when your world was shakin', Even when your breath was taken, Even when your blue eyes turned to gray...
Small town debutantes and queens Every woman has a name! Cocktail waitresses with dreams Every woman has a name! And every girl whose love survives A broken heart to stay alive. You signed your picture in the frame Every woman has a name!
You had your love affair. Some were perfect but most of them were pain. Seems a hundred years ago It took you to the highest hill, Left you standing frozen in the rain, But you still feel the afterglow.
And even when your world was shakin' Even when your breath was taken Even when your blue eyes turned to gray
Housewives cryin' on the phone Every woman has a name! Sacred sisters all alone Every woman has a name! And even on the coldest day When the kids are gone, moved away, It's lonely now, There's no one there to hold your hand And play...
See it written on the grave? Every woman has a name...
