about

The new "saddest song in country music"
C'mon Brad Paisley,Alan Jackson,-Pick this one up! Would also be a great "comeback" song for Travis Tritt,or a "break-out" hit for Mo Pitney !
Don't fear the sad song ya'll !

lyrics

My Wife,My Widow

( 1st verse )

"I watch her when she sleeps at night,her mumbled words,and muffled cries,
I reach out to her and she calls my name..
And through the days her tired eyes,shows the pain she just can't hide,
Oh I wish that i could heal her broken heart..

(1st chorus)

My wife my widow,
It's been three weeks and she still clings to myyy,pillow,
yeah sometimes i think she feels me by her,.. side,
And when she looks my way, i feel like i could cry.
I go where she goes,
And i've seen the bright light 'callin me home.
Yeah i know i'm suposed to go,but i turn away
I need to stay here to make sure she'll be-ee ok
My wife my widow..

( 2nd verse )

She's wandering through the house again,angry at what should have been,
a life of love, and my gentle touch.
-She screams"You promised me you'd never leave",
and "please please please,come back to me",
-oh i don't know how much more that i can, take!

( 2nd chorus)

-My wife my widow,
It's been three months and she still clings to my,pillow,
Sometimes there's more to life,than what it seems,
And sometimes i can reach her i-in her dreams...
Where,she says she's so tired,
of living life without me standing by her side
and she really wants to take that final ride,
and cross over with me to the o-o--ther side
My wife my widow

( BRIDGE )
*******
And I- told--her every breath of life is precious girl!
I did-n't cause my death,
don't make me BE the cause of yours!

(Last chorus)

My wife my widow,
after all this time,she still clings to my,pillow,
but now i see the traces of her smile,
And it's good to see her sleeping thro-ugh, the night.
I know where she goes,
And i can see that bright light 'callin me home.
-And yeah i finally feel that she will be ok,
and there's a light ahead to tae-ake me-ee, a-a-way,..

( ENDING OF SONG ) ( accapella? "phone voice"with needle crackling on vynal record ?..)
(fading to end?..)

-"Remember when,we used to meet,
down by the old,school-house creek.
And we'd kiss,and we'd hold hands,
And talk of 'travlin,...to far-off lands..."
