Into each life a little sunlight wants to shine Let me tell you, a fortune like that once was mine She was a special girl She meant the world to me I gave her everything When I found her I'd been looking everywhere When I lost her I was lost beyond despair She was a special girl She meant the world to me I gave her everything Dreams are hard to take (dreams are hard to take) Could it be I loved her too much Oo, a special girl Oo, a special girl She was a special girl She was a special girl She meant the world to me I gave her everything Bottom line is, she was fine in every way And it's not with hesitation that I say She was a special girl She meant the world to me And I gave her everything Dreams they come and go (dreams they come and go) But thoughts of her are like a floor show Oo, a special girl Oo, a special girl She was a special girl She was a special girl She meant the world to me I gave her everything
