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 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
