When Somebody Loved Me
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
When somebody loved me
everything was beautiful.
Every hour we spent together
lives within my heart.
And when she was sad
I was there to dry her tears.
And when she was happy so was I.
When she loved me.
Through the summer and the fall
we had each other, that was all.
Just she and I together,
like it was meant to be.
And when she was lonely
I was there to comfort her.
And I knew that she loved me.
So the years went by.
I stayed the same,
but she began to drift away
I was left alone.
Still I waited for the day
when she'd say "I will always love you."
Lonely and forgotten,
never thought she'd look my way.
And she smiled at me and held me
just like she used to do.
Like she loved me.
When she loved me.
When somebody loved me
everything was beautiful.
Every hour we spent together
lives within my heart.
When she loved me...
