I Had Forgotten You Lyrics - Singles - Paul Kelly And The Messengers

Paul Kelly (Mushroom Music) 

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 

Well 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
