I Had Forgotten You

Lyrics

I had forgotten the dress you wore
 The first time I ever saw you walking through a door
 And I had forgotten your secret smile
 That seemed to say it's okay you can stay awhile
 And I never kept a trace
 Of your voice, your touch, your taste
 Or your perfume
 I had forgotten you
 Then I got a letter, it came today
 From an old friend this is what he had to say
 You know Frank Hannon, well his wife just died
 But the big news is he's already found another bride
 You may remember her
 She says you once went out with her
 She was 22
 She still remembers you
 She's been a widow for six years
 Now her children have left home
 She nursed Frank's wife for a while
 But nobody knew this was going on
 ♪
 Now Mary comes to me, she turns out the light
 Then after a while she asks me if I'm alright
 I turn to hold her but I'm not there
 Tonight I feel like both of us are made of air
 Mary's hair is turning grey
 And she worries about her weight
 Do you, too?
 I had forgotten you
 Yes, it's true
 I had forgotten you
 Nothing new
 I had forgotten you
