More Than A Girlfriend

You still look the same as you did at 18 When good men could dream, ships passing in the night Made a fool of myself, I nearly gave up They told me she's not in love But now I know that I cannot live without you by my side My sweet ebony eyes, when they've left me behind You're still standing there, even through the storm This rose has its thorn

When I write these words, they just don't seem enough To express all the love I feel for you When I needed a friend through all the years I'm holding back the tears My cheating heart is true now that I've found you Sent down from heaven above

You're an angel of the first degree Better men have sailed across seven seas I was so blind till my eyes could see You're a needle in a haystack, baby Hell bent on chivalry I've been stung by the honeybee I'd lost faith but you made me believe You're so much more than a girlfriend to me

I won't forget how you stood up for me Made chaos steady when all hope was lost Made a fool of myself, I nearly gave up They told me you're not that tough Now I know that I'll make it through I'll do it for you, my sweet ebony eyes The fountain of sorrow has been drunk dry This thorn has its rose, I've always known

When I try to compose poetic songs of love They're never enough for you, a queen The river has crossed, I've found my way It's time to start a new day My cheating heart is true now that I've found you Living in heaven above

You're an angel of the first degree Better men have sailed across seven seas I was so blind till my eyes could see You're so much more than a girlfriend to me

You're an angel of the first degree Better men have sailed across seven seas I was so blind till my eyes could see You're a needle in a haystack, baby Hell bent on chivalry I've been stung by the honeybee I'd lost faith but you made me believe You're so much more than a girlfriend You're so much more than a girlfriend So much more than a girlfriend to me
