SHE
(Bill McMath / Ron Nelson / Mark Blumberg)


Charlie Rich - 1974


The girl became a woman and the woman became my wife
We brought a child into this crowded town
We searched out a corner where sunshine could live
And brighten up this new life we had found

She came into my life and she touched me
She didn't know how much she gave me then
Love moved in and took the place of lonely
And life would never be the same again

Then came a stranger with poison in his smile
She and my sunshine gained a friend
Early mornin' showers became a way of life
'Cause sunshine never came when she put in

Our home is just an echo, a picture from the past
It stands and weaves an image in my mind
Sunshine is a portrait, the colours have all died
It's hard to see ahead and look behind

But she came into my life and she touched me
She didn't know how much she gave me then
Love moved in and took the place of lonely
And she moved out and took a place with him
