I've only known her for a while
She came as some surprise
I see the sunshine when she smiles
I feel the rain fall when she cries

She hits me in the heart
She drops me to my knees
And I don't know where I'd be without you
Sweet Louise

Where she flies just like a bird
She floats just like a dream
She's the sweetest song I've heard
And the sweetest face I've seen

She hits me in the heart
She drops me to my knees
I don't know where I'd be without you
Sweet Louise

They say patience is a virtue
And she'll wait, she won't desert you
She's got hands that couldn't hurt you
If they tried

With all that happiness she has me
But she loves and understands me
But oh I know she's always by my side
So if you please, put me at ease
Sweet Louise

She hits me in the heart
She drops me to my knees
I don't know everything about you
You know you give me no reason to doubt you
And I don't wanna be without you
Sweet Louise
