,  -two times
She's  perfect in her own way
Smoke  rings rising to the winter grey.
She's  perfect in her own way
Shining,  stepping off a silver train.
 Now I'm getting  a sick  taste in my mouth
 From the medicine  that I can't  keep down...
 (keep playing Bb, then D, then Bb again, then D again, then verse 2)
She's  amazing in her own way
Always  moving to a better place
She's  amazing in her own way
Laughing,  you won't get to her better traits*
 Now I'm getting  that sick  taste in my mouth
 From the medicine  that I can't  keep down...
 You know time  heals nothing by itself
 I see that  ever so clearly now
 (one time)
 She looks a little bit different now
 Maybe a little bit softer round the eyes
 Just a little bit different now
 Maybe a little bit softer round the eyes
 (four times)
 (same )
 The lights had just gone out at Rockerfeller Center.
 Take it slow  and make it softer.
 (same )
 Easy likes it nice and steady.
 Now I'm getting  that sick  taste in my mouth
 From the medicine  that I can't  keep down...
 You know time  heals nothing by itself
 I see that  ever so clearly now
 (just stay playing a Bb awhile then keep playing it over Bridge Two's lyrics)
 End on Bb.
