C
I see my wife working ironing my shirts
F
And my mind goes to another day
G7
And to another woman who might've been my wife
C
If things hadn't turned out this way
Lord knows I love her but I often wonder
F
If fate should pull back the blind
G7
How would my wife feel if she could see
C
The woman in the back of my mind
Does she do things fancy does she have a family
F
Is she as happy as I
G7
Does she spend her afternoons just playing bridge
C
Or baking the children a pie
And I often wonder if she thinks of me
F
When she hears those old church bells chime
G7
Though it's been long ago at times I miss her so
C
The woman in the back of my mind
Suddenly I come back to right here and now
F
And the dreams that I've seen come to life
G7
And I hope she's as happy with somebody else
C
As I am with my loving wife
I might have been wrong but it's been so long
F
And things work out in time
G7
But I'd like to say I'm sorry some day
C
