The Woman Before Me

(written by Jude Johnstone)



I can see you turn away

When I ask what for

You say it isn't anything

But I'm not sure



Somethin' underneath the skin

Won't let you be

And you try to keep it in

But I can see



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 talking 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 wanna ease the pain

That's in your way



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 talking to

The woman before me and you



If there are sorrows that bring back a tear

Don't let them keep us apart

You ought to know you've got 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



But 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 talking to

The woman before me and you

Sometimes I think

You must be talking to

The woman before me and you
