Charles Wesley Godwin - How the Mighty Fall lyrics

[Verse 1] Church bells ringin', gospel singin' Mary's limping up the steps to the worship hall She was born in the afternoon On V-Day in 1945 when Berlin falls She was the toast of the town Every boy would lay it down to serve her crown [Refrain] Oh my, oh my How the mighty fall in time [Verse 2] Married to a congressman Decided things way back when it's a curtain call Looking in the mirrored night The image staring back at her is all a lie It seems a trick of the eye Just yesterday she heard her baby's newborn cry [Refrain] Oh my, oh my How the mighty fall in time [Refrain] Oh my, oh my How the mighty fall in timе [Bridge] Just tearing through the pages and losing your mind 'Forе you know it you've reached your last line [Refrain] Oh my, oh my How the mighty fall in time Oh my, oh my How the mighty fall in time
