Ladies First

Just photgraphs and memories
A sheet of silly art
A lock of hair, your Teddy Bear
A warm place in my heart
These are the things you've left me with
I guess they'll have to do
But the time will never come
When I stop missing you

'Cause ladies first is just a phrase
All empty mean and cold
Babe, how'm I gonna make it
without your hand to hold?
I always thought you'd be the one

To bring the flowers for me
Your pain is gone and you've moved on
I thank the Lord, your free

We always knew this time would come
For one of us some day
I never thought it'd be this soon
I never thought this way
They say the hurt will ease a bit
If I give it a while
But my days seem dark and cold
Without your warm bright smile

'Cause ladies first is just a phrase
All empty, mean and cold
Babe, how'm I gonna make it
Without your hand to hold?
I always thought you'd be the one
To bring the flowers for me
Your pain is gone and you've moved on
I thank the Lord, your free

It has a name I can't pronounce
Because it is too long
But it took you from my arms
And left me with this song
I know that life's not always fair
And so it had to be
But the world just don't seem right
Without you here by me

'Cause ladies first is just a phrase
All empty, mean and cold
Babe, how'm I gonna make it
Without your had to hold?
I always thought you'd be the one
To bring the flowers for me
Your pain is gone and you've moved on
I thank the Lord, your free

I know that we shall meet again
Somewhere beyond the sky
Because a love as strong as ours
Can never ever die
And so I'll live the way I must
To be with you some day
And always know within my heart
That you're not far away

Final chorus:

'Cause ladies first is just a phrase
That means you wait for me
I'm gonna hold your hand again
Just you wait and see
I know I'm gonna see your smile
A shining like the sun
And always know within my soul
We've only just begun
