Lyrics
ALL THE KINGS MEN
By warren evans
SHE KEEPS THE 8X10 NEAR HER BED
AND THEIR EYES MEET WHEN SHE TURNS HER HEAD
IT'S 3 AM, SHE STARTS TO CRY
"TIME WILL HEAL" THAT'S WHAT THEY SAY
BUT NOTHING TAKES THE PAIN AWAY
OF A WIDOW'S GREIF, A SHATTERED LIFE
THE BROKEN SOUL OF A LOVING WIFE
ALL THE KINGS HORSES AND ALL THE KING'S MEN
COULDN'T PUT TOGETHER THOSE PIECES *
SHE'S A GOTTA LITTLE FAITH SO SHE PRAYS NOW AND THEN
"COULD ALL THE KING'S MEN UP IN HEAVEN BEGIN?"
THE DRESS SHE WORE WHEN HE WAS THE GROOM
HANGS ALL ALONE IN THE SPARE BEDROOM
COLLECTING DUST SO FAITHFULLY
SHE STILL WEARS THAT WEDDING RING
ALL THE KING'S HORSES AND ALL THE KING'S MEN
COULDN'T PUT TOGETHER THOSE PIECES *
SHE'S GOTTA LITTLE FAITH SO SHE PRAYS NOW AND THEN
"COULD ALL THE KING'S MEN UP IN HEAVEN BEGIN?"
SHE YEARNS FOR THE PEACE THAT IS FOUND IN HOPE
AND THE HOPE THAT IS FOUND IN PEACE
ALL KINGS HORSES AND ALL THE KINGS MEN
COULDN'T PUT TOGETHER THOSE PIECES
SHE'S GOTTA LITTLE FAITH SO SHE PRAYS NOW AND THEN
"COULD ALL THE KING'S MEN UP IN HEAVEN BEGIN?"
