Another dozen roses didn't get delivered One more glass of wine did not get poured Another loving phone call never quite rang through Lord have mercy on the man of a woman's soul Another unexpected late night at the office One more evening pacing back and forth Another solo dinner at a table set for two Lord have mercy on the man of a woman's heart No one knew the sorrows, the secrets kept within Her heart was broke but she had him to thank She cried while she was picking out his coffin Then she smiled all the way to the bay Oh Lord have mercy No one knew the sorrows, the secrets kept within Her heart was broke but she had him to thank She cried while she was picking out his coffin Then she smiled all the way to the bay Nobody in the county asked a single question Dressed in black or how they thought she mourned What happened on that highway is impossible to prove Lord have mercy on the man of a woman's heart Lord have mercy on the man of a woman's heart
