Well she smiles just like a river Rolling softly to the sea When she blows away my problems She helps to take, take a little weight off me
When she's happy, I'm in heaven If she's down, she'll never say 'Cause she knows I'm treading water Guess she feels I'm better off that way
But when sadness overcomes me I'm blinded by the night She takes my hand and leads me to the light And she wisphers in the morning She knows the words to say To keep me looking forward to the new day
So I try just to be her lover And I hope she understands When I hurt her or make her crazy That I'm just an ordinary man
Yeah she smiles just like a river Flowing softly to the sea When she blows away my problems She helps to take a little weight off me
