There's a girl with curly hair
High-shine shoes and rainbow flares
There's a girl with a dimple smile
That blind men can see from a country mile
Like waking up in the summer
To a distant sun above

She came to me and she gave me love

She lives on a street in a neighborhood
Where the folks down there don't live so good
Out every night on the avenue
She lights up the sky as she sings the blues
Like waking up to the sounds of birds singing high above

She came to me and she gave me love

Oh, she took my hand as she sat me down
Despite all the news that's going around
With every moment, each passing touch
All to say, it was a gentle kiss

She came to me and she gave me love

What a difference she made
What a difference she made, ooh-ooh-ooh
What a difference, baby
And I love you so
Won't let it go
What a difference baby, ah-oh
Yeah, what a difference, baby
I, I would love her so, baby
