Julie

Julie was the life of my soul
She came along and showed me all a woman had to show
She never made me promises of 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 that Appalachian rain
Turning Julie over in my mind again

Some things she took from me some she left behind
But I get by the best I can
Still I smile and thank to Lord that Julie took the time
Stop and love a boy into a man

Lord, You know she sure is good for me
What I feel inside is more than just a memory
If I had a gift to give to any man I know
He'd have a girl like Julie sleeping softly in his soul
Julie, I love ye
