Julie

Julie was the life of my soul
Came along and showed me all a woman has to show
She never made me promises of loving me always
She just made me happy while she stayed

Time and changes changed her mind one day
She went to find her world in some strange city far away
And now i stand here looking through that appalachian rain
Turning julie over in my mind again

Some she took from me some she left behind
And i get by the best i can
Still i smile and thank to lord oh that julie took the time
To stop and love a boy into a man

All in all she sure was good for me
What i feel inside is more than just a memory
And if i had a gift to give to any man i know
He'd have a girl like julie sleeping softly in his soul
