Sugar, spice and life
The things that I gave to you
But they weren't what you needed
And now I do the best I can do
Special presents under Christmas trees
Giant happy birthday cakes
But we have the same faces that we had that day
And the clouds never seem to break
There's a hole in our family, and I can't make it then
I can't turn the clock back so you can live your life again
She looks just like everyone else
If you stand too close
She is just like most of us
Just like everyone else
When her thoughts are far
She can't see you, or where you are
Love is hard to describe
Apart from holding you close
When I think of things that have happened
I think that's when I love you most
I can't imagine seeing out of your eyes
I can't imagine living, having heard all of his lies.
She looks just like everyone else
If you stand too close
She is just like most of us
Just like everyone else
When her thoughts are far
She can't see you, or where you are
(musical break)
They say pain will heal with time
But there are some things that can take more than a lifetime
She looks just like everyone else
If you stand too close
She is just like most of us
Just like everyone else
When her thoughts are far
She can't see you, or where you are
Commentary
Here's another one I've been singing to myself for a long time. The melody and the words in the refrain first came to me around the time I wrote "It Is Today" last year, but I didn't have a grip on all of the melody. I've picked this one up at least a dozen times since then, I think this is almost done now.
