Lyrics
Where The Girls Used To Be
Written by David Thompson/Ken Matthiesen 11/08/12 copyright 2012
Version 11/26/2012
Woke up this morning, knew you were worried
You were up early, crying, brushing your hair
In front of the mirror, but not really there
Holding yourself, nurturing ... something that doesn't belong
We both know something, something is wrong
(Chorus)
Let's pin a pink ribbon where the girls used to be
A medal of honor, of hope, and dignity
You're the same woman
I am so proud
You're all I'll ever need
Let's pin a pink ribbon where the girls used to be
I closed my eyes and prayed ... the other day
Knowing you went to ... visit where ... your momma rests
A bundle of flowers... and a weight on your chest
I'm sure you made her feel everything was okay
It's not your style to ... blame others that way.
Repeat Chorus
(Instrumental)
(Bridge)
Holding you close, we sit on the edge, on the edge ... of your hospital bed
It's finally over, we get to go home, to go home ...dry the tears that we shed
Repeat Chorus
