Tonight Carmen Lyrics

Artist: Marty Robbins
Album: Tonight Carmen

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 anticipating,
The woman I've wanted so much.

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.

Carmen, Carmen, Carmen...
