Well, she smiles just like a river
Flowin' softly to the sea
When she blows away my problems
Helps to take, take a little weight off me

When she's happy, I'm in heaven
When she's down, she don't ever say
'Cause she knows I'm treadin' water
I guess she thinks I'm better off that way

But when darkness overtakes me
I'm blinded by the night
She takes my hand and lеads me to the light
She wakеs me in the mornin'
She knows the words to say
She keeps me lookin' forward to a new day

So I try just to be her lover
And I hope she'll understand
When I hurt her and I make her crazy
That I'm just an ordinary man

But when darkness overtakes me
I'm blinded by the night
She takes my hand and leads me to the light
She wakes me in the mornin'
She knows the words to say
She keeps me lookin' forward to a new day
So I try just to be her lover
And I hope she'll understand
When I hurt her and I make her crazy
That I'm just an ordinary man
