I Married Her Just Because She Looks Like You Lyrics
Lyle Lovett
Its not the words
You know Ill always love you
Its not the words
I wish that I could stay
Its more the way your lips looked
As you spoke them
And how the moonlight fell upon your face
I married her just because she looks like you
And for every time you said no
She says honey Ill be glad to
And for every time you left me
She says darling Ill be there
Its not the words
Youll get over me
That made my dreams come true
I married her just because she looks like you
And if I had not searched for you
I never would have found her
And if I had not loved you
I would never have known love
Its not the words
Please try to forget me
That made my dreams come true
I married her just because she looks like you
And for every time you knocked me down
She reaches out to help me
And for every time you cursed me
She says darling I love you
Its not the words
Time heals everything
That made my dreams come true
I married her just because she looks like you
