Lyrics: When I Loved Her
Album: The Silver Tongued Devil And I
Artist: Kris Kristofferson
 

Well, she didn’t look as pretty as some others i have known
And she wasn’t good at conversation when we were alone
But she had a way of making me believe that i belonged
And it felt like coming home, when i found her

She seemed to be so proud of me just walking holding hands
And she didn’t think that money was the measure of a man
And we seemed to fit together when i held her in my arms
And it left me feelin’ warm, when i loved her.

Chorus:
’cause she brightened up the day like the early morning sun
And she made what i was doin’ seem worth while
It’s the closest thing to living that i guess i’ve ever known
And it made me wanna smile, when i loved her.

I know some of us were born to cast our fortunes to the winds
And i guess i’m bound to travel down a road that never ends
But i know i’ll never look upon the likes of her again
And i’ll never understand why i lost her

Chorus:
’cause she brightened up the day like the early morning sun
And she made what i was doin’ seem worth while
It’s the closest thing to living that i guess i’ve ever known
And it made me wanna smile, when i loved her.
