Description
When I was in college I had this girlfriend who told me "If anyone ever wrote me a song like 'She's Always A Woman," oh, I'd love him forever."
Well, this is the song I wrote to that rather obvious challenge. It sure ain't Billy Joel, but I like it. The last song I'm going to post (at least for a while) that comes out of my shoebox. Comments encouraged.
PS - She didn't think it sounded much like Billy Joel either.

Lyrics
She's there when I need her
She calls when she wants me
Where ever she wants me to go there I'll be.
I am waiting and watching
Wanting her calling me
Whispering calming words deep in the night
Telling me that all my fears are alright
CHORUS
There's a fire in her eyes that lights the way
A burning candle-flame of blue and gray.
I've seen it dimmed, I've seen it bright,
And I've been blinded by her light.
I don't want the darkness
I want her to stay.
The fire in her eyes lights my way.
She cries like a child, screams like a winter storm,
Her heart can be cold it can melt like the snow.
She has looks that will kill you, looks that will make you grow.
She'll turn you and burn you in the heat of her fire,
Then she will pick you up and build her higher.
(CHORUS)
I know that she needs reassurance
Her love won't destroy all she hopes it can be.
I wish that I had the words to tell her
That she is everything
She's all things to me
(CHORUS)
(CHORUS)
The fire in her eyes lights my way.
She calls when she wants me
Where ever she wants me to go there I'll be.
I am waiting and watching
Wanting her calling me
Whispering calming words deep in the night
Telling me that all my fears are alright
CHORUS
There's a fire in her eyes that lights the way
A burning candle-flame of blue and gray.
I've seen it dimmed, I've seen it bright,
And I've been blinded by her light.
I don't want the darkness
I want her to stay.
The fire in her eyes lights my way.
She cries like a child, screams like a winter storm,
Her heart can be cold it can melt like the snow.
She has looks that will kill you, looks that will make you grow.
She'll turn you and burn you in the heat of her fire,
Then she will pick you up and build her higher.
(CHORUS)
I know that she needs reassurance
Her love won't destroy all she hopes it can be.
I wish that I had the words to tell her
That she is everything
She's all things to me
(CHORUS)
(CHORUS)
The fire in her eyes lights my way.

... and very well delivered. For my taste - and it's only my
taste - there are too many chordal modulations which
stop the melody from gathering pace. The verse is just
getting going when you move to "whispering calming
words..."; so that it sometimes sounds like the melody is
struggling to keep up with the many changes of key. But
it's very impressive.
