Woman in the Back of My Mind
I see my wife working, ironin' my shirtsAnd my mind goes to another dayAnd to another woman who might have been my wifeIf things hadn't turned out this wayLord knows I love her but I often wonderIf fate should pull back the blindHow would my wife feel if she could seeThe woman in the back of my mind?Does she do things fancy, does she have a family?Is she as happy as I?Does she spend her afternoons just playing bridgeOr baking her children a pie?And I often wonder if she thinks of meWhen she hears those old church bell's chimeThough it's been long ago at times I miss her soThe woman in the back of my mindSuddenly I come back to right here and nowAnd the dream that I've seen come to lifeAnd I hope she's as happy with somebody elseAs I am with my loving wifeI might have been wrong but it's been so longAnd things work out in timeBut I'd like to say I'm sorry some dayTo the woman in the back of my mind
