(Verse 1) This is a song about Cindy When she was a lady about 24 Had dreamed her whole life Of wedding bells, gowns and sashes Then one day thought her man finally came Gave her a second hand ring Then left her waiting right there at the alter As her fiance left for Missouri Her old grandma kissed her cheek and said (Chorus) Pour your heart out Over the rim of the glass Save sobriety for another day Tonight you gotta wash away the pain As the tears of the waterfall the liquor will flow Over the rim of the glass Tomarrow you won’t be drunk Yet tonight will only pass Over the rim of the glass (Verse 2) A year went on another hadn’t come along One night her granddad came to her door To tell her grandma had died Close to Christmas, tree bright as the heavens At that moment her knees almost gave Visioned an angels wing About a week later came the funeral Left Cindy’s heart broken For hours she couldn’t stop cryin’ Could hear her old grandma say (Repeat Chorus) (Verse 3) Her sorrow lasted til spring Felt she couldn’t go on anymore Then another man came into her life With choclates, dancing and roses Then one day swept her off her feet With a new diamond ring Wedding day came was left again at the alter As he left with another woman The pain almost made her go insane Felt her old grandma kiss her cheek and say (Repeat Chorus) (Verse 4) Life was tough for Cindy Only lived to 26 and a few months When she was young watched her mommy die Her daddy took his own just after the ashes Everyday was filled with pain At night she could not sleep
Til her end came without no babies or a ring Gone before her life was lived That was the last of Cindy’s hurtin’ Her heartache came to an end
