THE INAPPROPRIATE QUESTION

THE INAPPROPRIATE QUESTION - Capo @ 2 to sing

G C/G bass
She said, “I can see that you’re hurting,
And I can see that you are wearing a ring.
Perhaps an inappropriate question,
but I’d like to ask you something.
Soon I will be a grand mother
I have a husband that I’ve loved for years
But lately I’ve thot a thot that I’ve fought
A thot that’s turned my questions to fears
You see, today I was running some errands
Farmer’s market out west of our town
But before I got there, the thot in the air
Maybe I’d not turn around
How do you deal with a question when the
answers are multiple choice?
And how do you handle temptation
Without losing the ring in your voice?”
And then she wrapped her two arms around me
And I wrapped my arms around her
And then she said, “Take a deep breath.”
And my memory of that breath is clear.
How do we know that a promise
Is anything more than a wish
And tho honestly tho, the truth it is not
Any more than a plate is a dish.
And I said, “There’s a song in this meeting
And if you can’t write it I will
And I promise I won’t sing it in front
Of the man that is loving you still.”
