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
She seemed to be so proud of me,
just walking, holding hands
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 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 fortune to the wind
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
