THE WOMAN BEFORE ME (written by Jude Johnstone) I can see you turn away When I ask what for You say it isn't anything But I'm not sure Somethin' underneath the skin Won't let you be And you try to keep it in But I can see The woman before me Must have been hard on you 'Cause that hurt in your eyes I never put you through Sometimes I think You must be talking to The woman before me and you Sometimes in an argument It will show When you go a little farther than You meant to go I know you don't mean the things That you say I just wanna ease the pain That's in your way The woman before me Must have been hard on you 'Cause that hurt in your eyes I never put you through Sometimes I think You must be talking to The woman before me and you If there are sorrows that bring back a tear Don't let them keep us apart You ought to know you've got nothing to fear Here in my heart 'Cause you and I will never be Like the past Whatever kind of memories That you have Nothin's gonna hurt you now Can't you see I already made a vow That I can keep But the woman before me Must have been hard on you 'Cause that hurt in your eyes I never put you through Sometimes I think You must be talking to The woman before me and you Sometimes I think You must be talking to The woman before me and you
