Well, she didn't look as pretty
as some others I had known
And she wasn't good at conversation
of making me believe that I belonged
And it felt like coming home
Gosh, seemed to be so proud of me
just walking, holding hands
And we seemed to fit together
when I held her in my arms
And it left me feeling warm
Cause she brightened up the day
like the early morning sun
And she made what I was doing
It's the closest thing to living
that I guess I've ever learned
And it made me want to smile
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
And I'll never understand
Cause she brightened up the day
like the early morning sun
And she made what I was doing
It's the closest thing to living
that I guess I've ever known
And it made me want to smile
