I never thought in all my life

I'd find the wife I did my friend

And all the while I'm smiling' too

I see her heart is faithful to the end

To realize that fears inside me

Never came so close as she did

Selfish ways would end it all, but no

You see, she is my love

She sees through

Hardly has to listen

And when she leaves me

I know I'm hurting so much

Gotta see that smile again

Life goes on and changes too

I see her heart is faithful to the end

I leave behind my pride and know that, see that

I don't deserve the love she gives oh no

Vanity it paints with brilliant hues

And it'd take the love that she'd give

Now I'm free to be the one I am

I'm free you see

She is my love

She sees through

Hardly has to listen

And when she leaves me

I know that I'm hurting so much

To feel that touch

To have that love

To see that smile again

She sees through

Hardly has to listen

And she believes me

And knowing her is touching heaven's gate

I've got to see that smile again
