Lyrics
He pulled out of town
Didn't turn around
He left her sad and broken hearted
Through a veil of tears
She hid her fears
Knowing life had just got harder
She lay in bed
Lift up her head
And heard the kids down in the kitchen
It was their dad
He ain't coming back
Now she had all the questions
Chorus:
Nothing lasts forever
The water tastes like wine
Stay close to those who love you
Life's just a Stitch in Time
Well kids your dad
He is a good man
When he ain't been drinking from the bottle
He lost his job, he lost his pride
And he left town to go and find it
Now I know your mad, and oh so sad
But at least you know we've got each other
And I pray
Chorus:
Nothing lasts forever
The water tastes like wine
Stay close to those who love you
Life's just a Stitch in Time
