She Was My Lady

She Was My Lady
She Was My Lady
(David Gates)
No one has heard
No one has seem her
Nobody else
Carin' but me
She was a child
She was a woman
When she was here
She was my lady
Never before
Was I dependin'
Then she came on
Filled in my life
She kept me on
My best behavior
She was my lord
She was my savior

She became my sanctuary
Some place I could lay me down
She would always help to carry
All the things that weigh me down
Nobody knew
How much I loved her
Not even her
Not even me
She was my queen
She was my lover
When she was here
There was no other
