lyrics

Wives have been leaving
Lonely men behind
Endlessly for centuries,
So why should I act so surprised?

Carmen was his light
The apple of his eye
The sunshine to his night
The bluebird in his sky

Out mowing the lawn
In his undershirt
It's hard to stand by
And watch a man fall apart

Carmen was his light
The apple of his eye
The sunshine to his night
The bluebird in his sky

She was weighing her onions
I was standing in line
She printed out her code and walked away
Left her onions behind

I touched her on the shoulder
She smiled, what do you know
We've been together ever since
That was 40 years ago

Cigar firmly in place
Faraway look in his eyes
Even though he won the race
In the end he surrendered the prize

Carmen was his light
The apple of his eye
The sunshine to his night
The bluebird in his sky
