[Verse 1]
The day breaks, your mind aches
You find that all her words of kindness linger on
She no longer needs you

[Verse 2]
She wakes up, she makes up
She takes her time and doesn't feel she has to hurry
She no longer needs you

[Chorus]
And in her eyes you see nothing
No sign of love behind the tears
Cried for no one
A love that should have lasted years

[Verse 3]
You want her, you need her
And yet you don't believe her when she says her love is dead
You think she needs you

[Verse 4]
She goes out, you stay home
She says that long ago she knew someone, but now he's gone
She doesn't need him

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
And in her eyes you see nothing
No sign of love behind the tears
Cried for no one
A love that should have lasted years

[Verse 5]
The day breaks, your mind aches
There will be times when all the things she said will fill your head
You won't forget her

Emmylou Harris was born in Birmingham, Alabama on April 2, 1947 to Walter and Eugenia Harris. She attended Garfield Senior High School where she graduated as Valedictorian. She then went to UNCG School of Music, Theatre & Dance at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro but dropped out to pursue her musical talents.

Emmylou married Tom Slocum in 1969, but this was a very short marriage as they divorced the following year. It was long enough, however, to produce a daughter, Mika Hallie Slocum, on March 15, 1970. In 1977 she married Brian Ahern and they were married roughly seven years. The couple had one daughter together, Meghann Theresa “M.T” Ahern, born September 9, 1979. In 1985, she married Paul Kennerley who she was married to until 1993.

The 5'5" singer-songwriter is known for songs such as “Beneath Still Waters”, “Together Again”, “Two More Bottles of Wine”.
