[Verse 1]
My new lover, sweet and kind
The kind of lover that one rarely finds
And I’m happy for the first time in a long time

Came along and opened up a door
And though I know I’ve been in love before
Oh, I feel it so much more than the last time

[Chorus]
And she only looks like you
In a certain kind of light
When she holds her head just right

[Verse 2]
It’s been winter for awhile
The north wind’s wail cut like a baby child’s
It was hard to think her smile could bring springtime

But it did, now it is
The green, green grass has grown up green and it’s
Feeling just the way it did the very first time

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
Anymore would stretch the rhyme
So let me leave this where I started I’m
Just happy for the first time in a long time
In a long time
