The Woman Before Me
Lyrics by: Jude Johnstone
Album: Trisha Yearwood - Trisha Yearwood and Songbook: A Collection of Hits
I can see you turn away
When I ask what for
You say it isn't anything
But I'm not sure
Something underneath the skin
Won't let you be
And you try to keep it in
But I can see
Chorus:
The woman before me
Must have been hard on you
'Cause that hurt in your eyes
I never put you through
Sometimes I think you must be talkin' to
The woman before me and you
Sometimes in an argument
It will show
When you go a little farther than
You meant to go
I know you don't mean the things
That you say
I just want to ease the pain
That's in your way
Repeat Chorus
If there are sorrows that bring back a tear
Don't let them keep us apart
You ought to know you have nothing to fear
Here in my heart
'Cause you and I will never be
Like the past
Whatever kind of memories
That you have
Nothin's gonna hurt you now
Can't you see
I already made a vow
That I can keep
Repeat Chorus
Sometimes I think you must be talking to
The woman before me and you
Notes:
A beautiful and haunting song I've always loved by Trisha Yearwood. I heard it one day, and this story just came to me. I don't know how else to describe it.
