i was lonely and i was tired and i was drifting away. 
i was half lit and just about losing it . 
i was lost and looking till i heard you say, 
"thanks for coming" and "glad to meet you" and 
"have a good time" and "the drinks are that way." 
then my heart grew and i knew just what to do and my words were with me. 
they flowed that day. 

hey to the woman that saved my life . 
she helped me make it through a darker day. 
you're the most beautiful girl alive. 
i'm no poet but i want to say 


all the sadness and all the misery and all the darkness seemed to leave. 
and all that's charming and that's funny and all my faith was restored to me. 

so hey to hey to the woman that saved my life . 
she helped me make it through a darker day. 
you're the most beautiful girl alive. 
i'm no poet but i want to say. 


lonely then you saved me. 
i was lonely then you saved me. 

so hey to hey to the woman that saved my life . 
she helped me make it through a darker day. 
you're the most beautiful girl alive. 
i'm no poet but i want to say
