She

She is not the picture on the magazine She's the woman just behind you at the checkout stand She may appear to be common, but she mystifies In all the ways the wisest men and children understand 'Cause she has eyes that sparkle with her love And she has a smile that's as gentle as a dove And no woman in a movie or an ad could ever hope to be As beautiful as she She is not a highly honored diplomat Held responsible to lead the world to peace But what she does is every bit as serious Amidst the turmoil everywhere that will never cease 'Cause she has hands that wipe the tears away And she has a voice that makes everything okay And no woman from the papers or TV could ever hope to be As indispensable as she And it breaks my heart every time I see her wonder If she means anything in this world, that pulls her under And she doesn't always see the way that Heaven smiles above her That's the reason I try to always tell her that I love her 'Cause she may not be known for giving millions To the charities and auctions on the news But I believe she's given more than anyone But all the times she's ever had to choose To give up sleep to rock her children every night And give her heart to always hold their dreams so tight And the best that you, or I could ever hope to be Is as wonderful as she And the best that you, or I could ever hope to be Is as wonderful as she
