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 belonged

And it felt like coming home, when i found her



She seemed to be so proud of me just walking holding hands

And she didn't think that money was the measure of a man

And we seemed to fit together when i held her in my arms

And it left me feelin' warm, when i loved her.



Chorus:

'cause she brightened up the day like the early morning sun

And she made what i was doin' seem worth while

It's the closest thing to living that i guess i've ever known

And it made me wanna 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



Chorus:

'cause she brightened up the day like the early morning sun

And she made what i was doin' seem worth while

It's the closest thing to living that i guess i've ever known

And it made me wanna smile, when i loved her.
