Whichever One Comes First

That little band of gold left a ring around her finger

First time she took it off in seven years

The only man that ever loved her left her for another

Now she's had her fill of lonely nights and cryin' bitter tears.

So she puts on her make-up, takes her gown down from the closet

And meets the baby sitter at the door

Then she gets a scary feelin' wonderin' if she's still appealin'

'Cause tonight she's goin' places she ain't never been before.

She's lookin' for those long forgotten feelin's

Hopin' this time they're a blessing not a curse

She's lookin' for a love to last forever

Or till mornin', whichever one comes first.

In the dim light of a barroom she sits down at a table

Then looks around in hopes she'll see a friend

But the world is full of strangers when you have to start all over

Back on your own and learnin' how to look for love again.

She's lookin' for those long forgotten feelin's

Hopin' this time they're a blessing not a curse

She's lookin' for a love to last forever

Or till mornin', whichever one comes first...
