I Never Got To Know Her lyrics

And I remember her on the streets of New York City As I walked the night needing some place warm to go As she passed I said: Hey there's snowflakes on your lashes And she laughed and said: That isn't snow She said: They're feathers from a pillow God is shaking in the sky And she opened smiling lips to catch a snowflake blowing by And we both began to laugh and then I looked into her eyes And it was warm again But I never got to know her very well All we did was spend a little time You're waiting for a story but there's really none to tell She's just a passing shadow on my mind But I remember her as we woke up warm together In her sunlit room, and she said: I'll help you pack And she sewed my shirt and I said: I'll stay forever But she laughed and put some cookies in my sack And she said: Leave a trail of cookie crumbs as you walk through the snow And someday I'll follow after and I'll find you where you go And I left her in her doorway but why I'll never know But I was younger then So I never got to know her very well All we did was spend a little time You're waiting for a story but there's really none to tell She's just a passing shadow on my mind Oh, you're waiting for a story but there's really none to tell
