Intro: G Bm/F# C G G/F# Em C DD/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
Intrumental: G
Bm/F# C G G/F# Em
C D D/C D/B D/A
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.
(end on G)
