All But Forgotten

He left his wife at home crying
In blind anger he did go
Now he's the man he pretends to be
At the tavern down the road

She calls up her best friend
Says she's coming over
Says she's really going to leave him this time
Holds her baby close to her shoulder

Chorus:
She remembers how he promised her everything
How he called her his sweet little thing
But that was so many years ago
Now it's all but forgotten

She packs up her suitcase
And steps out into the night
Holds her baby close as her tears, they fall
She whispers: “Honey, everything's gonna be all right”

Later on that same evening
When her husband comes back home
The house is so cold and so empty
That even a drunkard would know

Chorus
