Absolutely -- Nine Days

This is the story of a girl Who cried a river and drowned the whole world 
And while she looks so sad in photographs I absolutely love her When she smiles
how many days in a year She woke up with hope But she only found tears
And I can be so insincere Making her promises never for real
As long as she stands there waiting Wearing the holes in the soles of her shoes
Now how many days disappear When you look in the mirror So how do you choose

Your clothes never wear as well the next day And your hair never falls in quite the same way You never seem to run out of things to say This is the story of a girl
Who cried a river and drowned the whole world And while she looks so sad in photographs
I absolutely love her When she smiles

Now how many lovers would stay  Just to put up with this shit Day after day
How did we wind up this way Watchin' the mouths for the words that we say
As long as we stand here waiting Wearing the clothes or the soles that we choose
How do we get there today When we're walking too far for the price of the shoes
Your clothes never wear as well the next day And your hair never falls in quite the same way But you never seem to run out of things to say

This is the story of a girl Who cried a river and drowned the whole world
And while she looked so sad and lonely there I absolutely love her When she smiles
and your clothes never wear as well the next day And your hair never falls in quite the same way You never seem to run out of things to say

This is the story of a girl Who cried a river and drowned the whole world
And while she looks so sad in photographs I absolutely love her...
This is a story of a girl Her pretty face she hid from the world
And while she looks so sad and lonely there I absolutely love her...

While many believe the lyrics of "Absolutely (Story of a Girl)" reflect Hampson's relationship with his girlfriend at the time Teresa Savino, who is now his wife. Hampson's lyrics portray his attitude that he does love her despite the fact that she is crying and looking sad - he absolutely loves her.              (wiipedia)
