Tonight Carmen Marty Robbins
Carmen Carmen Carmen
Tonight I am achin'
my body is shakin'
Tonight Carmen's
comin' back home
Tonight there'll be no room
for tears in my bedroom
Tonight Carmen's
comin' back home
Tonight as I stand here
I notice my hand here
Is trembling as never before
My feelin's I can't hide
resistance has all died
My pride will rush outside
The moment she walks
through the door
The lips that have kissed her
That's loved her
and missed her
Are lips that have
cursed her at night
In anguish and torment
I've cursed as the night went
From darkness 'till
dawn's golden light
I've thought of just takin'
These two hands and breakin'
The body I'm waiting to touch
I find while I'm waiting
There's no time for hating
While anticipati ng
The woman I've wanted so much
<interlude DF>
I've placed pretty flowers
to brighten the hours
I've put brand new sheets
on the bed
I'm nervous I'm tremblin'
recallin' rememberin'
The way that
she tosses her head
I've given much thought to
The fact that I ought to
Have more control over my life
How can I fight it
how can I deny it
There's no way to hide it
The love that
I have for my wife
