Another hard night to get through again
draw the curtain and turn out the light
I know you're hurtin' an' he was your friend
I'll tell you it'll be alright
Tattered and torn in two there's only one thing I can think of to do
Pull out my thimble my needle and thread
and stitch you back up like new
Holdin' hands stealing sweet kisses
our boy thinks he's fallin' in love
She broke his heart now he's cryin' his eyes out
but we're here come push or come shove
Tattered and torn in two there's only one thing I can think of to do
Pull out my thimble my needle and thread
an' stitch you back up like new.
Some day my son, you'll be a man with a child, and a life of your own
It may not be now but you'll understand
to care for each stitch that you've sewn
Trust me son someday when I'm gone
your stitches stay strong for you
Tattered and torn in two there's only one thing I can think of to do
Pull out my thimble my needle and thread an' stitch you back up
I'm gonna stitch you back up I'll stitch you back up like new
