Well, she didn't look as pretty as some others I have known And she wasn't good at conversation when we were alone But she had a way of making me believe that I belong And it felt like coming home when I found her. 'Cause she seemed to be so proud of me just walking holding hands And she didn't think that money was a measure of a man And we seemed to fit together when I held her in my arms And it left me feeling warm when I found her. 'Cause she brightened up the day like the early morning sun She made what I was doing seem worthwhile It's the closest thing to living that I guess I've ever known And it made me want to smile when I loved her. I know some of us were born to cast our fortunes to the winds And I guess I'm bound to travel down a road that never ends But I know I'll never look upon the likes of her again And I'll never understand why I lost her. 'Cause she brightened up the day like the early morning sun She made what I was doing seem worthwhile It's the closest thing to living that I guess I've ever known And it made me want to smile when I loved her. And it made me want to smile when I loved her...
