The Corner Of My Life

I'm not looking for a sweetheart
Just a gentle lady friend
Someone I can softly turn to
When I need to, now and thenWhen my head gets kind of tangled
And my soul is lying bare
I reach over in the corner of my life
And I find you waiting thereYou're a number I can phone
You're a letter I can write
You're my water when I'm thirsty
In the middle of the nightYou're a warm and tender body
You're a woman, not a wife
And just knowing you has brightened
The corner of my lifeThere's a special kind of feeling
When we're simply touching hands
There's a special kind of comfort
Knowing someone understandsI'm no knight in shining armor
I'll never carry you away
But you're filling up the corner of my life
In the nicest kind of wayYou're a number I can phone
You're a letter I can write
You're my water when I'm thirsty
In the middle of the nightYou're a warm and tender body
You're a woman, not a wife
And just knowing you has brightened
The corner of my lifeI can't count the ways you've brightened
All the corners of my life
