Can’t Measure the Cost of a Woman Lost

[Verse 1]
The silken skies that so remind and mesmerize and finally blind me
The downy softness of herself, forever lingering behind me
Never, ever has there been nor will ever be again
I want someone to give you love, tenderness and be a friend
Hanging on 'til the bitter end

[Chorus]
Now, you can't measure the cost of a woman lost
You can't measure the cost of a woman lost
But it's a heavy loss indeed for those in need

[Verse 2]
I've tried to look inside myself to find the strength from which to draw from
I'm turnin' inside out and tryin' to see me from the view she saw from
But since she tried to go too deep limitations brought her down
And though I'd like to free her mind, visitation's a frown
I gotta find the place she found

[Chorus]
Now, you can't measure the cost of a woman lost
Now, you can't measure the cost of a woman lost
But it's a heavy loss to bear when she's not there

[Bridge]
Where she is no one seems to know
The silken sky has swallowed her up or so it seems

[Verse 3]
The morning mist that melts upon the meadow brings a touch of sorrow
The one I kissed is all alone and may or may not know tomorrow
Just an ordinary girl to the ordinary eye
And so much deeper glows the vein than the glittering gold
You gotta touch, and you gotta hold

[Outro]
Now, you can't measure the cost of a woman lost
You can't measure the cost of a woman lost
Now, you can't measure the cost of a woman lost
Now, you can't measure the cost of a woman lost
You can't measure the cost
