Josh Ritter - A Certain Light lyrics

My new lover, sweet and kind
The kind of lover that one rarely finds
And I’m happy for the first
Time in a long time

Came along and opened up a door
And though I know I’ve been in love before
Oh, I feel it so much more than the last time

And she only looks like you
In a certain kind of light
When she holds her head just right

It’s been winter for awhile
The north wind’s wail cut like a baby child’s
It was hard to think her
Smile could bring springtime

But it did, now it is the green
Green grass has grown up green and it’s
Feeling just the way it did
The very first time

Anymore would stretch the rhyme
So let me leave this where I started I’m
Just happy for the first time in a long time
In a long time
