   Ci remember her when Amshe was shining bright
   Dmdeep in her dark Ameyes there shone a Gdancing light
   she Falways used to Gsay that she was Cnot the marrying Fkind
   unDmtil she met the Gman who changed her Cmind
he was beautiful and lord, he was strong
knew where he was going, rising like the sun
and he believed in her and listened to her thoughts
and long into the evening they would talk
Fseemed like we just Gblinked our eyes and  C- she Em7slipped Amaway
this Dmwoman full of Ffire and wonder - Dmonly yesterGday
there Fain't no doubt she's Ghappy, ain't Cnothing really Fwrong
but the Dmdancing light inGside her eyes is Amgone
he got the job he wanted, she left hers behind
she said she had no future there - she didn't mind
in another city she began a brand new life
loving the man and learning to be a wife
we still get a letter from time to time
she writes about the baby, not what's on her mind
i guess she's got her reasons, it ain't for me to say
but it makes me sad to lose a friend that way

C Am

i remember her when she was shining bright

Dm Am G

deep in her dark eyes there shone a dancing light

F G C F

she always used to say that she was not the marrying kind

Dm G C

until she met the man who changed her mind

he was beautiful and lord, he was strong

knew where he was going, rising like the sun

and he believed in her and listened to her thoughts

and long into the evening they would talk

F G C Em7 Am

seemed like we just blinked our eyes and - she slipped away

Dm F Dm G

this woman full of fire and wonder - only yesterday

F G C F

there ain't no doubt she's happy, ain't nothing really wrong

Dm G Am

but the dancing light inside her eyes is gone

he got the job he wanted, she left hers behind

she said she had no future there - she didn't mind

in another city she began a brand new life

loving the man and learning to be a wife

we still get a letter from time to time

she writes about the baby, not what's on her mind

i guess she's got her reasons, it ain't for me to say

but it makes me sad to lose a friend that way
