When I Loved Her

(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 makin' me believe that I belonged

And it felt like comin' home when I found her.



Cause she seemed to be so proud of me just walkin' holdin' 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.



Cause she brightened up the day like the early mornin' sun

And she made what I was doin' seem worthwhile

It's the closest thing to livin' that I guess I've ever known

And it made me want to 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 the 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...
