Jimmy Webb - One Of The Nicer Things lyrics

rate me

She was far more beautiful than I, <br />

And so I didn't want to try.<br />

She was so unafraid.<br />

I was so shy.<br />

She left me trying desperately to think of<br />

One of the nicer things<br />

About my life, about me.<br />

<br />

She took time to talk to me. When she knew<br />

I didn't know what to say, <br />

She made me say it anyway<br />

And made me close my eyes<br />

So I could see<br />

One of the nicer things<br />

About my life, about me.<br />

<br />

It's not that I'm so hurt<br />

That she is gone, <br />

It's just that I'm not sure<br />

She was really here.<br />

<br />

She was very fond of me. She loved me<br />

As she loved all things that drifted near.<br />

She tried to tell me.<br />

I didn't hear.<br />

And I suppose that's why she'll always be<br />

One of the nicer things<br />

About my life, about me.
