Gordon Lightfoot - Something Very Special
Something Very Special
Gordon Lightfoot

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
Or free and easy on the run
She could be meek and mild or full of fun

And cigarettes would make her strange
She liked country lanes and aeroplanes
And when she wanted you she made it plain

It didn't seem that she had anyone
She would never say where she came from
To answer to or dwell upon

And I would call her any time
She liked candlelight and good wine
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
As I lie here in my lonely bed
Like a good friend or a pair of shoes
Or any kind of good news

And think about the things she said
When I must run far away
Now the eastern sky is crimson and red

She said darling there will come a day

I will go my love and you must stay
She didn't leave me anything
She departed in the early spring

To follow or to find her
The kind of girl you'd like to see
She was something very special to me
In a movie or a rosary
