Her hair’s like midnight, kissed by the sun
Even when it’s tangled, wild, or just undone
No silver yet, the dark still glows
But maybe I’ll catch the first as time unfolds

Her eyes are the kind that hold your stare
A shade you only notice when you really care
I get lost in them, quiet and wide
Like I forget myself and drift inside

[Chorus]
She’s not the kind to chase the light
But it finds her every time just right
She’s real in ways no mirror understands
No one else would see it, not like I can
Not like I can

Her smile appears like morning snow
A fold by her lips that steals the show
Her tongue brushes slow across her lip
It’s a moment I don’t let slip

Her eyes catch fire when she smiles
Wrinkles that glow and linger a while
She turns to the sun like it’s calling her name
And I gasp for air in the heat of her flame

[Repeat Chorus]

There’s more to her, curves I won’t define
A shape I’ve traced like my favorite line
But what moves me more, beyond what I feel
Is the depth of her mind, steady and real

She speaks with purpose, clear and strong
Knows what she wants, and where she belongs
She gives her best, with no disguise
And holds her truth behind those eyes

[Chorus 2]
She’s not the kind to need a stage
But her presence writes another page
She’s real in ways no mirror understands
No one else would see it, not like I can
Not like I can
