[Verse 1]
My new lover, sweet and kind
The kind of lover that one rarely finds
And I'm happy for the first time in a long time
Came along and opened up a door
And though I know I've been in love before
Oh, I feel it so much more than the last time
[Chorus]
And she only looks like you
In a certain kind of light
When she holds her head just right
[Verse 2]
It's been winter for awhile
The north wind's wail cut like a baby child's
It was hard to think her smile could bring springtime
But it did, now it is
The green, green gra** has grown up green and it's
Feeling just the way it did the very first time
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
Anymore would stretch the rhyme
So let me leave this where I started I'm
Just happy for the first time in a long time
In a long time
