Folk and Traditional Song Lyrics:
There Stands the Glass

There Stands the Glass

There Stands the Glass
(Webb Pierce)

There stands the glass
Fill it up to the brim
'Til my troubles grow dim
It's my first one today

There stands the glass
That will ease all my pain
Make me forget your name
It's my first one today

   I wonder where you are tonight
   I wonder if you are all right
   I wonder if you think of me
   In my misery

There stands the glass
That will open the door
Like it once did before
It's my first one today

There stands the glass
Oh, how it beckons to me
How I long to be free
It's my first one today

   I wonder where you are tonight
   I wonder if you are all right
   I wonder if you think of me
   In my misery

There stands the glass
That will sure ease my mind
And will put you behind
It's my first one today

There stands the glass...

     from Venice, CA; may he rest in peace. First heard from Sylvia Herold.
