She'll be the first to say 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....
