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 I knew

that

she

loved

me.

So the years went by; I stayed the same.

But she be gan to drift a way; I was left a lone.

Still I wait ed for the day

when she’d say, “I

will al ways love

you.”

Lone ly and for got ten,

nev er thought she’d look my way, and she smiled at me and held me just like she used to do,

like she loved

when she loved

me.

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,

when she

loved

me.
