Only Josephine beyond compare
To judge her just ain't fair
The only dream that's really there
And she sits with shinning hair
I found her waiting there
Well, I thought we all knew her like we all know rain and pain
I then heard voices talking of their right to be in vain
She said, "They don't know what they're saying
For they speak without no thought
And if their words had been confined
These men could not be taught"
She's so true
Only Josephine beyond compare
To judge her just ain't fair
The only dream that's really there
And she sits with shinning hair
I found her waiting there
To speak in terms of true and false she can't be understood
And yet I find myself describing her in terms of good
I stood to sing a song to her and then she made me see
There is no song to sing to her that is not sung to me
It's her you long to be
Only Josephine beyond compare
To judge her just ain't fair
The only dream that's really there
And she sits with shinning hair
I found her waiting there
La la la, etc.
Ooh ma ma ma, etc.
Josephine is crying and she's laughing while she does
No one needs to tell her who she is or who she was
She's been through it all and you can see it in her eyes
And no one can tell Josephine that she don't realize
You know she does
Josephine beyond compare
To judge her just ain't fair
The only dream that's really there
And she sits with shinning hair
I found her waiting there
