I'm not looking for a sweetheart   Just a gentle lady friend   Someone I can softly turn to   When I need to now and then   When my head gets kinda tangled   And my soul is lying bare   I reach over in the Corner of my life   And I find you waiting there      You'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 night   You're a warm and tender body   You're a woman, not a wife   And just knowing you has brightened   The corner of my life      There's a special kind of feeling   When we're simply touching hands   There's a special kind of comfort   Knowing someone understands   I'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 way      You'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 night   You're a warm and tender body   You're a woman, not a wife   And just knowing you has brightened   The corner of my life      I can't count the ways you've brightened   All the corners of my life   mmmm mmmm (fade)
