When somebody loved me
Everything was beautiful
Every hour we spent together
Lives within my heart
And when she was sad
I was there to dry her tears
And when she was happy
So was I
When she loved me
Through the summer and the fall
We had each other
That was all
Just she and I together
Like it was meant to be
And when she was lonely
I was there to comfort her
And I knew that
She loved me
So the years went by
I stayed the same
But she began to drift away
I was left alone
Still I waited for the day
She'd say "I will always love you"
Lonely and forgotten
Never thought she'd look my way
But she smiled at me and held me
Just like she used to do
Like she loved me
When she loved me
When somebody loved me
Everything was beautiful
Every hour we spent together
Lives within my heart
When she loved me
This song inspired me to write Oyuki Mamisha's story, "When She Loved Me"
