You were so beautiful
Like a child so young and full of life
Seems a hundred years ago
You saw everything
So much more
tragedy than good
You even watched the world grow cold
And even when your world was shakin'
Even when your breath was
taken
Even when your blue eyes turned to gray
Small town debutantes and queens
Every woman has a name
Cocktail waitresses
with dreams
Every woman has a name
And every girl whose love survives
A broken heart to stay alive
You signed your picture in
the frame
Every woman has a name
You had your love affair
Some were perfect but most of them were pain
Seems a hundred
years ago
It took you to the highest hill
Left you standing frozen in the rain
But you still feel the afterglow
And even
when your world was shakin'
Even when your breath was taken
Even when your blue eyes turned to gray
Housewives cryin' on the
phone
Every woman has a name
Sacred sisters all alone
Every woman has a name
And even on the coldest day
When the kids are
gone, moved away
It's lonely now
There's no one there to hold your hand
And play
See it written on the grave
Every
woman has a name
