An original.
I never met her, she lives a half a world away
But her sweet elfish smile always brightens my day
The pictures of her in her youth make me breathe a wistful sigh
She is the woman with the girl in her eyes
Sometimes it was hard to understand the words that she sang
I wondered if she always understood my loose Texas twang
'Cause we live in different countries, and speak slightly different tongues
But here or there, it's all the same, and the music keeps us young
Well, she writes the songs that are sincere to surprise
She is the woman with the girl in her eyes
She can write some happy songs, and boy, she can write the blues
Either way, she always makes me smile, I swear that it's true
And she wrote some songs that make me bow my head and pray
Wishin', hopin', prayin' that she'll always be this way
Well, in every song she writes there's a truth to recognize
She is the woman with the girl in her eyes
Yeah, she writes every song from the heart, but that ain't no surprise
She is the woman with the girl in her eyes
I never met her, she lives a half a world away
