Cherie Call - She

She is not the picture on the magazine
She's the woman just behind you at the
checkout stand
She may appear to be common but she
mystifies
In all the ways the wisest men and
children understand
Cause she has eyes that sparkle with her
love
And she has a smile that's as gentle as a
dove
And no woman in a movie or an ad
could ever hope to be
As beautiful as she

She is not a highly honored diplomat
Held responsible to lead the world to peace
But what she does is every bit as serious
Amidst the turmoil everywhere that will
never cease
Cause she has hands that wipe the tears
away
And she has a voice that makes everything
okay
And no woman from the papers or T.V.
could ever hope to be
As indispensable as she

And it breaks my heart every time I see
her wonder
If she means anything in this world that
pulls her under
And she doesn't always see the way that
heaven smiles above her
That's the reason I try to always tell her
that I love her

Cause she may not be known for giving
millions
To the charities and auctions on the news
But I believe she's given more than anyone
In all the times she's ever had to choose
To give up sleep to rock her children every
night
And give her heart to always hold their
dreams so tight
And the best that you or I could ever
hope to be
Is as wonderful as she
And the best that you or I could ever
hope to be
Is as wonderful as she
