She's got a way about her 
I don't know what it is 
But I know that I can't live without her 
She's got a way of pleasin' 
I don't know what it is 
But there doesn't have to be a reason 
Anyway 

She's got a smile that heals me 
I don't know why it is 
But I have to laugh when she reveals me 
She's got a way of talkin' 
I don't know what it is 
But it lifts me up when we are walkin' 
Anywhere

She comes to me when I'm feelin' down 
Inspires me without a sound 
She touches me and I get turned around 
She's got a way of showin' 
How I make her feel 
And I find the strength to keep on goin' 
She's got a light around her 
And everywhere she goes 
A million dreams of love surround her 
Everywhere 

She comes to me when I'm feelin' down 
Inspires me without a sound 
She touches me and I get turned around 
She's got a smile that heals me 
I don't know why it is 
But I have to laugh when she reveals me 
She's got a way about her 
I don't know what it is 
But I know that I can't live without her 
Anyway
