James Taylor

There's something in the way she moves,

Or looks my way, or calls my name,

That seems to leave this troubled world behind.

And if I'm feeling down and blue,

Or troubled by some foolish game,

She always seems to make me change my mind.

And I feel fine anytime she's around me now,

She's around me now

Just about all the time

And if I'm well you can tell she's been with me now,

She's been with me now quite a long, long time

And I feel fine.

It isn't what she's got to say

But how she thinks and where she's been

To me, the words are nice, the way they sound

I like to hear them best that way

It doesn't much matter what they mean

If she says them mostly just to calm me down

And I feel fine anytime she's around me now,

She's around me now

Just about all the time

And if I'm well you can tell she's been with me now,

She's been with me now quite a long, long time

And I feel fine.

Every now and then the things I lean on lose their meaning

And I find myself careening

Into places where I should not let me go.

-- She has the power to go where no one else can find me

And to silently remind me

Of the happiness and the good times that I know, got to know.

And I feel fine anytime she's around me now,

She's around me now

Just about all the time

And if I'm well you can tell she's been with me now,

She's been with me now quite a long, long time

And I feel fine.
