She was something very special to me |
|
The kind of girl you'd like to see |
|
In a movie or a rosary |
|
She could be straight-laced or homespun |
|
Or free and easy on the run |
|
She could be meek and mild or full of fun |
|
She liked country lanes and aeroplanes |
|
And cigarettes would make her strange |
|
And when she wanted you she made it plain |
|
She would never say where she came from |
|
It didn't seem that she had anyone |
|
To answer to or dwell upon |
|
She liked candlelight and good wine |
|
And i would call her any time |
|
Of day or night she didn't mind |
|
The was nothing that i wouldn't do |
|
To prove to her my love was true |
|
And she gave to me a dream or two |
|
There were times when she would never appear |
|
For days and then she'd disappear |
|
But now the days have turned to years |
|
I was something she could use |
|
Like a good friend or a pair of shoes |
|
Or any kind of good news |
|
Now the eastern sky is crimson and red |
|
As i lie here in my lonely bed |
|
And think about the things she said |
|
She said darling there will come a day |
|
When i must run far away |
|
I will go my love and you must stay |
|
She departed in the early spring |
|
She didn't leave me anything |
|
To follow or to find her |
|
She was something very special to me |
|
The kind of girl you'd like to see |
|
In a movie or a rosary |
