Lightfoot Gordon Something Very Special Lyrics

Something Very Special Lyrics

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
