Lyrics

When some bod y loved me, ev ’ry thing was beau ti ful.

Ev ’ry hour we spent to geth er lives with in my heart.

And when she was sad,

I was there to dry her tears; and when she was hap py, so was I, when she

loved

me.

Through the sum mer and the fall, we had each oth er, that was all.

Just she and I to geth er, like it was meant to be.

And when she was lone ly, I was there to com fort her, and knew

that

she

loved

me.

When She Loved Me by Sarah McLachlan — Easy Piano for Kids

This page shows “When She Loved Me” by Sarah McLachlan in our color-coded kid songbook view — every note is colored by pitch (red C, orange D, yellow E, green F, blue G, purple A, pink B) and the lyrics sit directly under each note, so children can sing along while they play. The song is in the key of G at 80 BPM, a slightly more challenging arrangement — practice each phrase slowly first.

Tips for parents & teachers

  • Start at 50% tempo using the BPM control. Speed up only when your child can play through without stopping.
  • Turn on the metronome from the top bar to build steady rhythm.
  • Use the segmented OFF / C / 1 button to toggle note labels on the staff and keys — kids learn note names faster with letters showing.
  • Tap a measure number on the timeline to jump to a specific section for repeat practice.
