Right Way to do a Wrong Thing
Cheryl was asked to write this song, which is unusual in itself. This song was written for some good friends of hers who were thinking about getting a divorce. Several other people Cheryl knew were also going through this phase.
Lyrics
- Right Way to Do the Wrong Thing
- Words and Lyrics by:
- Cheryl Wheeler
- Somehow the fair-haired boy has lost his place
- Stepped from the golden light, fallen from grace
- Scattered promises like broken glass
- Turned his heart away from all he has
- And you can't believe and you can't explain
- How a heart can beat and the world can change
- And it's left you wondering
- If there's a right way to do the wrong thing
- New love's a warm surprise to a sleeping heart
- We tell ourselves the old was wanting from the start
- Hot tears in children's eyes, for the nights he calls
- Photos of in-law aunts down off the walls
- Running now, he can't come clean
- And she can't understand what's changing
- This charade leaves her unknowing
- Everyday these cracks keep growing deeper
- Church scenes and blue bouquets, trailing gowns
- Don't foresee the ways the world can wear us down
- We swear forever, with a sentimental heart
- What God has joined together, now mostly falls apart
