Carrying The Torch Lyrics

Did I hear you say you wished that you could leave her ?
Has some foolish disagreement made you blind ?
If you traveled round this world, you wouldn’t find another
girl
To hold the candle to the guy you left behind.

And boy, she’s carrying the torch for you
Though solid tears may fall, you never know.
But on the day that you discover how much you really love her
You’ll find her love has never lost its glow.

She believed ya when you pledged her your devotion
When she watched you as you walked right out the door.
After all that she’s been through tonight she still believes
in you
As she stands there all alone upon the shore.

And boy, she’s carrying the torch for you,
Though her heart may break, you never know.
But on the day that you discover how much you really love her
You’ll find her love has never lost its glow. Kinky Friedman - Carrying The Torch - http://motolyrics.com/kinky-friedman/carrying-the-torch-lyrics.html

You know, I still remember the first time I ever saw her.
You see, I was coming home from overseas,
And well, she was just standing there as the ship was comin’
in.
Well, she really stood out from the crowd, I can tell you that.
And the golden light of dawn was gleaming in her eyes.
Well, there’s some folks that call her proud,
And there’s some folks that call her wild,
And there’s some that even go so far as to call her free,
And then there’s some ...
Well they just call her the Statue of Liberty!

And boy she’s carrying the torch for you
Thank you!
Her love light shines for all this world to see.
Thank you very much!
And on that day
Thank you!
You’ll find a way to love her
She wants you just to know you’re always free.
