Lisa was the light of my soul She came along and showed me All a woman has to show She never made no promises About 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 Now I stand here looking Through this balcony armchair Turning Lisa over in my mind again Some she took away from me Some she left behind But I'm going to give back The best that I can Oh still I smile and thank the Lord That Lisa took the time To stop and love a boy into a man All I know she sure was good for me Put a feel inside that's more Than just a memory And if I had a gift to give To any man I know That he'd have a girl just like Lisa Sleeping softly in his soul
