G Bm/F# C G G/F# Em C D D/C D/B D/A

G Bm/F#
my new lover , sweet and kind
C G
the kind of lover that one rarely finds
G/F# Em C D D/C D/B D/A
and i’m happy for the first time in a long time

came along and opened up the door
and thought i know i’ve been in love before
though i feel it so much more
than the last time
C G
and she only looks like you
C G
in a certain kind of light
C G D D/C D/B D/A
when she holds her head just right

it’s been winter for awhile
the north winds will cut like a baby child
it was hard to think her smile
could bring the springtime

but it did , now it is
the green green grass has come up green
and it’s feeling just the way it did
the very first time

and she only looks like you
in a certain kind of light
when she holds her head just right

and anymore would stretch the rind
so let me leave this where i started
and i’m just happy for the first time
in a long time
in a long time .
