The victim of countless arrangements and re-records it turns out the answer was a simple, for her, piano part by Rosalie James.
Lyrically, life with women is the subject.
lyrics
Then a Girl Walks In
words and music by
john greene
there you are,
the dawn of a brand new day,
ready, up and willing, come what may,
happy with, life and another start,
looking to the future,
where you play your perfect part
there you sit, it’s the middle of the day,
you’re doing what you’re doing
in the usual way
ups and downs,
dodging the slings and arrows,
trying to keep your life within,
the straight and narrow
thinking bout things
that make me what i am
driving thru life with the seat belt off
times to short
for dreams beyond perfection
when she comes will it be alright
there you go, its the evening of the day,
socializing, party-going,
drink your life away,
drown the day, stagger home at dawn,
happy with your lonely lot,
glad to be alone
then a girl walks in
and your dreams turn into dust,
then a girl walks in
and your iron resolve turns to rust,
then a girl walks in
and seven mirrors shatter,
then a girl walks in
and she’s the only thing that matters
no, nothing else matters
