I Had Forgotten You Lyrics by Paul Kelly And The
Clean Lyric
Paragraph Lyric
Paul Kelly (Mushroom Music)I had forgotten the dress you woreThe first time I ever saw you walking through a doorAnd I had forgotten your secret smileThat seemed to say it's okay you can stay awhileAnd I never kept a traceOf your voice, your touch, your tasteOr your perfumeI had forgotten youThen I got a letter, it came todayFrom an old friend this is what he had to sayYou know Frank Hannon, well his wife just diedBut the big news is he's already found another brideYou may remember herShe says you once went out with herShe was 22She still remembers youShe's been a widow for six yearsNow her children have left homeShe nursed Frank's wife for a whileBut nobody knew this was going onNow Mary comes to me, she turns out the lightThen after a while she asks me if I'm alrightWell I turn to hold her but I'm not thereTonight I feel like both of us are made of airMary's hair is turning greyAnd she worries about her weightDo you, too?I had forgotten youYes, it's trueI had forgotten youNothing newI had forgotten you
