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.
