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.
Cause she brightened up the day like the early morning sun
And 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.
'Cause 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 feeling warm when I loved her.
I know some of us were born to cast our fortunes 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.
