She may be the face I can't forget <br />A trace of pleasure or regret <br />May be my treasure or the price <br />I have to pay <br /> <br />She may be the song that summer sings <br />May be the chill that autumn brings <br />May be a hundred different things <br />Within the measure of a day <br /> <br />She may be the beauty or the beast <br />May be the famine or the feast <br />May turn each day into a heaven <br />Or a hell <br /> <br />She may be the mirror of my dream <br />A smile reflected in a stream <br />She may not be what she may seem <br />Inside her shell <br /> <br />She who always seems so happy in a crowd <br />Whose eyes can be so private and so proud <br />No-one's allowed to see them <br />When they cry <br />She maybe the love that cannot hope to last <br />May come to me from shadows of the past <br />That I'll remember 'til <br />The day I die <br /> <br />She may be the reason I survive <br />The why and wherefore I'm alive <br />The one I'll care for through the <br />Rough and rainy years <br /> <br />Me I'll take her laughter and her tears <br />And make them all my souvenirs <br />For where she goes I've got to be <br />The meaning of my life is she
