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....
