(Bob McDill)      He's in some bar a drinkin' she's home alone again   He's in town buyin' rounds and laughin' with his friends   His supper's on the table still he ain't come home   She's lookin' out the window with a front porch light on.      She's the woman in every man's life   A candle in the window on the darkest night   A sister and a mother a lover and a wife   She's a woman in every man's life.      She's a standin' in the kitchen ironin' his shirt   Tears fall on the collar like little drops of hurt   When he's spent his money he'll stumble home again   And she'll get out bed and turn on light and let him in.      She's the woman in every man's life   A candle in the window on the darkest night   A sister and a mother a lover and a wife   She's a woman in every man's life.      Somehow she defends him again and again   She'll stand up to her mother and hide it from her friends   And somehow she forgives him for all he's guilty of   And that takes a lot of woman that takes a lot of love.      She's the woman in every man's life   A candle in the window on the darkest night   A sister and a mother a lover and a wife   She's a woman in every man's life.      She's the woman in every man's life   A candle in the window on the darkest night   A sister and a mother a lover and a wife   She's a woman in every man's life...
