He's in some bar a drinking
She's home alone again
He's in town buying rounds
And laughing with his friends
His supper's on the table
Still he ain't come home
She's looking out the window
With a front porch light on
She's the woman in
Every man's life
A candle in the window
On the darkest night
A sister and a mother
A lover and a wife
She's the woman in
Every man's life
She's a standing in the kitchen
Ironing his shirt
Tears fall on the collar
Like little drops of hurt
When he's spent his money
He'll stumble home again
And she'll get out bed
And turn on light
And let him in
She's the woman in
Every man's life
A candle in the window
On the darkest night
A sister and a mother
A lover and a wife
She's the woman in
Every man's life
Somehow she defends him
Again and again
She'll stand up to her mother
And hide it from her friends
And somehow she forgives him
For all he's guilty of
And that takes a lot of woman
That takes a lot of love
She's the woman in
Every man's life
A candle in the window
On the darkest night
A sister and a mother
A lover and a wife
She's the woman in
Every man's life
She's the woman in
Every man's life
A candle in the window
On the darkest night
