Yellow Coat

It's a long time since I saw you last
 So tell me how you've been
 Did you ever get to buy that yellow coat?
 Do the flowers in you window box
 Still smile when you walk in?
 Did you read the letters that I wrote?
 And I've been on the road since Christmas
 But it don't seem so long
 Outside of that there isn't much to say.
 I cut down on my drinkin' some
 And wrote another song
 I wish you wouldn't look at me that way
 Remember all the mornings
 We'd walk around the park
 The nights we babysat for Billy's kids
 And all the times we used to talk
 Of having one ourselves
 I don't remember why we never did
 Do the neighbors still complain a bit
 When the music gets too loud?
 Does your old cat still sleep up on the bed?
 And do you still walk around
 With your head up in the clouds?
 Have you heard a single thing I've said?
 It's a two day drive to New York
 Guess I'd better go
 Have you noticed the weather's gettin' cold?
 And it's a long time since I saw you last
 Tell me how you've been
 Did you ever get to buy that yellow coat?
 Did you ever get to buy that yellow coat?
