[00:06.05]
[00:09.03]She came to me shortly after Christmas,
[00:14.92]Said she hated spoiling New Year's Eve.
[00:21.35]But the truth doesn't wait to come in season
[00:27.21]And what we had feared was now believed
[00:33.15]She said she'd leave come Monday morning,
[00:39.55]Catch a plane if I'd split the fair.
[00:45.30]She had friends who lived in New York City.
[00:51.58]She'd look them up and have the baby there.
[00:57.66]And now she's alone in New York City,
[01:03.93]Living like… Lord, I wonder how.
[01:09.70]An angel in hell in New York City,
[01:16.10]But I can't think about that now.
[01:25.27]Honey, will you tell him Bible stories
[01:31.40]And give him all the love I never could?
[01:37.18]And never tell him too much about his daddy
[01:43.56]'Cause there's not too much to say that's good.
[01:49.62]He'll have to learn it all from his mother:
[01:55.92]How to count and say his ABC's.
[02:01.64]But when you teach him prayers to say at bedtime,
[02:08.09]Leave off "God bless Daddy," won't you please?
[02:13.79]And now they're alone in New York City,
[02:20.19]Living like Lord… I wonder how.
