Brenda Lee - Mary's Going Out Of Her Mind lyrics

She combs through her silver hair With a brush that isn't there As she looks into the mirror With the strangest stare She smears her lipstick on And rubs her tired eyes Then she plays with her favorite dolly And sings it a lullaby Mary's goin' out of her mind Waitin' for the man who left her behind Mary's goin' out of her mind Livin' in a crazy nightmare all the time He's been gone three years but she doesn't know To her he's still there 'Cause he promised he never would go And Mary's goin' out of her mind Well tonight there's a special dinner With a table set for two She pours from an empty bottle And says, "Darlin', here's to you" She looks at the empty chair And sees him smilin' sittin' there She sings Happy Birthday As she cuts his cake with care Mary's goin' out of her mind Waitin' for the man who left her behind Mary's goin' out of her mind Livin' in a crazy nightmare all the time He's been gone three years but she doesn't know To her he's still there 'Cause he promised he never would go And Mary's goin' out of her mind Well now her party's over And she lays down to cry She doesn't hear the radio That's been on since last July She gets up and whispers goodnight And kisses his photograph Then she stumbles around in a daze And just starts to laugh Mary's goin' out of her mind Waitin' for the man who left her behind Mary's goin' out of her mind Livin' in a crazy nightmare all of the time Mary's goin' out of her mind Livin' in a crazy nightmare all of the time
