When somebody loved me Everything was beautiful Every hour spent together Lives within my heart And when she was sad I was there to dry her tears And when was happy so was I When she loved me Through the summer and the fall We had each other that was all Just she and I together Like it was meant to be And when she was lonely I was there to comfort her And I knew that she loved me So the years went by I stayed the same But she began to drift away I was left alone Still I waited for the day When she'd say I will always love you Lonely and forgotten Never thought she'd look my way And she smiled at me and held me Just like she use to do Like she loved me When she loved me When somebody loved me Everything was beautiful Every hour spent together Lives within my heart When she loved me
