HaHa! This is not one of the girls I have in mind for the song. By definition, almost, I have no photos of them. Still, this is Juliana - a genuinely beautiful woman who is quite attached to me. She hasn’t gone away!

 
 

HER

I love this song. Kinda my favourite these days. This is about that person - perhaps more than one/once - who came into my life for a much briefer time and with much less entanglement than I hoped for. So much so that she remains in my memory years later, albeit often with no or a forgotten name. For me, this is not a tale of one person but a compilation of parts provided by different people over the years.

Her

C          F          C          G7

C                      F
I first met her long ago
C                      F
On a whim, I’d said hello
Am                   Dm      
We’d talk. Shared a secret once or twice 
G                     Em
It was nice, so very nice
C          F          C          G7

Each time we met, she’d smile and say
“Nice to see you again, today”
When she walked away, my mind 
Hung onto her waiting for next time

One day, I don’t know why
She was gone. A broken tie 
But I have not let her go
Does she remember? I don’t know

C

Am                   Dm   
There’s beautiful, magnificent,
G                     Em      
Gorgeous, flawless, heaven sent. 
C                      Am
But all these words fall short of best
F                      G        
When she’s perfect, nothing less
C         F         C         G7

I had never let her know
That she had drilled so deep into my soul
I often wondered what she would do
If I ever asked, “Would you like to… ?“

Desire saturates my heart
I cling to dreams I can’t discard 
I imagine if I’d been much bolder
There are so many things I would have told her

Oh, the girl I can’t forget
Is the girl I would never get
In my dreams, we still love so well
Would it have been so? I can’t tell.
