There was a woman who loved her man
 
 More than she loved herself
 
 Dirtnap one day took him away
 
 Left her screaming for help
 
 And I said how does it feel
 
 And I said how does it feel
 
  
  Like all God's promises are broken
 
 Like all God's promises are broken
 
 Like all God's promises are broken
 
 It's like dying on Christmas day
 
 It's like dying on Christmas day
 
 Before all gifts are open
  
 
 I knew a man who had a friend
 
 He loved in his own special way
 
 He held his friend close in his arms
 
 And his friend just melted away
 
 And I said how does it feel
 
 And I said how does it feel
  
 
 Like all God's promises are broken
 
 Like all God's promises are broken
 
 Like all God's promises are broken
 
 It's like dying on Christmas day
 
 It's like dying on Christmas day
 
 Before all gifts are open
  
 
 I had a love, a love of all loves
 
 But the dirtnap covered her well
 
 And the pain from the knife that cut us apart
 
 Won't stop on this side of hell
 
 And they said how does it feel
 
 And they said how does it feel
  
 
 Like all God's promises are broken
 
 Like all God's promises are broken
 
 Like all God's promises are broken
 
 It's like dying on Christmas day
 
 It's like dying on Christmas day
 
 Before all gifts are open
