 i remember her when she  was shining bright
  deep  in her dark eyes  there shone a dancing  light
  she always  used to say  that she was not  the marrying kind
  until  she met the man  who changed her mind
 he was beautiful and lord, he was strong
 knew where he was going, rising like the sun
 and he believed in her and listened to her thoughts
 and long into the evening they would talk
seemed  like we just blinked  our eyes and -  she slipped away
 this woman  full of fire  and wonder - only  yesterday
 there ain't  no doubt she's happy,  ain't nothing  really wrong
 but the dancing  light inside  her eyes is gone
 he got the job he wanted, she left hers behind
 she said she had no future there - she didn't mind
 in another city she began a brand new life
 loving the man and learning to be a wife
 we still get a letter from time to time
 she writes about the baby, not what's on her mind
 i guess she's got her reasons, it ain't for me to say
 but it makes me sad to lose a friend that way

[C]   i remember her when [Am]she was shining bright

   un[Dm]til she met the [G]man who changed her [C]mind

he was beautiful and lord, he was strong
knew where he was going, rising like the sun
and he believed in her and listened to her thoughts
and long into the evening they would talk

[F]seemed like we just [G]blinked our eyes and  [C]- she [Em7]slipped [Am]away
this [Dm]woman full of [F]fire and wonder - [Dm]only yester[G]day
there [F]ain't no doubt she's [G]happy, ain't [C]nothing really [F]wrong

he got the job he wanted, she left hers behind
she said she had no future there - she didn't mind

we still get a letter from time to time
she writes about the baby, not what's on her mind
i guess she's got her reasons, it ain't for me to say
but it makes me sad to lose a friend that way
