She Came Back Lyrics

She stood there in the evening light

Her hands upon her growing life

My wife just stared, I couldn't speak

The past came knocking here this week

My wife said, "Who is this we see

And why's she standing here with me?"

I stammered, "She's my ex, my dear

But what she wants is not yet clear"

Life can twist and turn so fast

The future shakes hands with the past

But darling, we'll stand side by side

Through storms and truths, we can't deny

She said, "I'm moving back to town

And thought I'd lay my burdens down

I thought you'd know, but now you see

This child will need a family"

Life can twist and turn so fast

The future shakes hands with the past

But darling, we'll stand side by side

Through storms and truths, we can't deny

I turned to my wife, saw her face

Her courage set to take its place

She said, "We'll talk, we'll find our way

But love will guide us through the day"

The ex looked down, her tears held tight

She whispered, "I'll not start a fight

I'll raise this child with what I've got

I'm here, but won't take what you've got"

Life can twist and turn so fast

The future shakes hands with the past

But darling, we'll stand side by side

Through storms and truths, we can't deny

The door shut soft, the night grew still

But in our hearts, there burned a will

To love, forgive, and face the test

'Cause love's both fragile and the best
