More Than A Girlfriend

You still look the same as you did at eighteen 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 sober till my eyes could see You're a needle in a haystack, baby Heaven of 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, our 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 sober 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 sober till my eyes could see You're more than a girlfriend, baby Heaven of 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
