(anderson/berenyi)
Carmen tells me what shes done
Says shes having fun
Wants to be a mom
Copper hair and golden smile
Sparkles all the while
But life can be a trial
Carmens in a world of pain
Dont cry now for yesterday
Babys gone but shes okay
Carmen tells me where shes been
Nightmares that shes seen
Makes me want to scream
Hear the things that shes been through
Grey and black and blue
Life can be so cruel
Sit down here and take a drink
Tell me about everything
And he shrugs and then he winks again
Chocolate box and photograph
Life is hard and life is tough
Carmen smiles and then she laughs again
Its time we started heading home now
Ive made mistakes along the way
It makes no sense but Im okay now
Its happened again
I guess Ill live another day
Sit down here and take a drink
Tell me about everything
And he shrugs and then he winks again
Chocolate box and photograph
Life is hard and life is tough
Carmen smiles and then she laughs again
