Purple dress, gray hair, blue tailored suit Wedding pictures on the walls of my grandparents' place Sitting on the couch in my pyjamas Laughing and talking, reminiscing Oh, those were the days And I hold on to the memories 'Cause I've never seen anything more beautiful Old souls, young love And I'll always remember The look on her face When my grandmamma said I found someone Who loves me for who I am and for what I'm not I found the one I'd been waiting for All through spring and summer rain One autumn day he came Thundering into my heart I found someone Who loves me for who I am It was everything you've read about in fairy tales And everything you've seen in Hollywood movies Oh, imagine if she didn't buy the paper that day And she never read that personal ad About a man who was looking for love A knock on the door The flowers were red They drove to his house He carried her in Said My home is your home Don't know how I just know I can feel in my bones that I found someone Who loves me for who I am and for what I'm not I found the one I'd been waiting for All through spring and summer rain One autumn day you came Thundering into my heart I found someone Who loves me These winter days cast shadows on the walls And my memories glitter like dust in the sun It's a sunny April morning In a cold hospital room She sits by his bed And thinks to herself I lost the one Who loved me for who I am and for what I'm not I lost the one I'd been waiting for All through spring and summer rain I curse the day he left With thunder in the sky He was the one Who loved me for who I am
