The Hardest Time

歌詞

A toast to love with paper cups And a vow to never part They're saying to each other there's a fire burning Deep within their hearts But at her darkest hour he's gone far away She's all alone And when the lights go out it's the hardest time The hardest time to be alone She sends her Mary off to school And sits to watch TV They're talking about spending their lives together The way it's supposed to be Then the baby cries, wakes her from her dream She's on her own And when the lights go out it's the hardest time The hardest time to be alone A mother's dream is like a story never told Reaching out for something more then a hand to hold Wanting the girl she left behind So far behind Pen and paper in her hand To write the folks back home She's telling them again that her life is better Not like long ago Then her shaking hand tears across the page Crumbles to the floor And when the lights go out it's the hardest time The hardest time to be alone
