C F C Well, she didn't look as pretty as some others I have known, F G7 And she wasn't good at conversation when we were alone. F G7 C Am But she had a way of making me believe that I belonged. F G7 C And it felt like coming home when I found her. Chorus: C7 F G7 C Am Cause she brightened up the day like the early morning sun F G7 C And she made what I was doing seem worthwhile. C7 F G7 C Am It's the closest thing to living that I guess I've ever known. F G7 C And it made me want to smile when I loved her. C F C 'Cause she seemed to be so proud of me, just walking, holding hands, F G7 And she didn't think that money was the measure of a man. F G7 C Am And we seemed to fit together when I held her in my arms. F G7 C And it left me feeling warm when I loved her. Chorus: C7 F G7 C Am Cause she brightened up the day like the early morning sun F G7 C And she made what I was doing seem worthwhile. C7 F G7 C Am It's the closest thing to living that I guess I've ever known. F G7 C And it made me want to smile when I loved her. C F C I know some of us were born to cast our fortunes to the wind, F G7 And I guess I'm bound to travel down a road that never ends. F G7 C Am But I know I'll never look upon the likes of her again. F G7 C And I'll never understand why I lost her. Chorus: C7 F G7 C Am Cause she brightened up the day like the early morning sun F G7 C And she made what I was doing seem worthwhile. C7 F G7 C Am It's the closest thing to living that I guess I've ever known. F G7 C And it made me want to smile when I loved her.
