See the girl at the table sippin' on wine
Would you believe that once she was mine
Oh lord how she loved me and never complained
While doin' without for my foolish dreams

She found some rainbows that I couldn't see
While she learned to do without so many things
She was slowly learning to do without me

She's learning the ways of the wild side of life
Some stranger is with her for the first time tonight
While she learned to do without so many things
She was slowly learning to do without me

She did without diamonds on her wedding band
But she could not do without the love of her man
While she learned to do without so many things
She was slowly learning to do without me
While she learned to do without so many things
She was slowly learning to do without me
