MY GIRL IS REAL
Words & Music © John Morton 1998.
My girl is real—
No fantasy
Born in my mind.
My girl is real—
She made me see
When I was blind.
I didn’t like her at first—
She truly was no Miss Universe.
I lived in a dream, lost to the world,
But she changed my life by just being her.
I’d never noticed before,
But on the inside, there’s so much
more—
Gentle and strong, she came along
At just the right time.
My girl is real, (etc…)
I didn’t like her at first,
But when she’d put in all that hard work
To get herself under my skin,
What else could I do but let her in?
Love at first sight’s fine for kids,
But I can see her for what she is—
Tender and warm, she came along
At just the right time.
My girl is real, (etc…)
Right from the start
I said “She’s not
My kind of girl,”
But beauty and pride
Were waiting inside
Just like a pearl.
My girl is real, (etc…)
Just like a diamond
Is for all time, and
Precious as gold,
My girl is real,
’Cause I can feel
Her in my soul.
