She's not the kind that gets in your way
So every day, I want her beside me
She's not the kind that makes you pay
For every mistake, she can forgive me
And I'm so lucky that I found the perfect girl
Out of all the millions of people in the world

Could've been somebody else
That I shared my life with
Could've been somebody else
Who didn't care about me
Could've been somebody else
That you gave your heart to
Oh, but I'm so glad you gave your heart to me

She's the kind that makes you proud
She's never loud, she's always a lady
She's the kind that you wanna hold
Love never gets old, she's soft as a baby
I shudder when I think of how it might have been
If that night you hadn't turned and smiled again

Could've been somebody else
That I shared my life with
Could've been somebody else
Who didn't care about me
Could've been somebody else
That you gave your heart to
Oh, but I'm so glad you gave your heart to me

Could've been somebody else
That I shared my life with
Could've been somebody else
Layin' here with me
Could've been somebody else
That you gave your heart to
Oh, but I'm so glad you gave your heart to me
Could've been somebody else
