I Once Knew A Woman Lyrics - Shel Silverstein

Well now I once knew a woman listen while I tell you all about her yeah 

And the first time I seen her I knew I couldn't live without her 

Well now she swore she'd love me all her life and I knew I'd do the same 

God damn but I don't even remember her name I don't remember her name 

Well now I once knew a woman and oh listen while I'm tellin' it to ya yeah 

She had big brown eyes the kind that could look right through ya 

Now that she looked in my soul with those big brown eyes 

Got a feelin' like I never knew hey come to think of it those eyes were blue 

I think those eyes were blue 

Well now you end one love then onto another never thinkin' back at the past one 

Never stop to think oh brother that the next one gonna be just like the last one 

I once knew a woman listen while I tell you my story 

She had a heart like the world her lips like a morning glory yeah 

Well I knew at last I met my fate and I'm bound to settle down 

Hey I wonder if she's still in town 

Yeah I once knew a woman and listen while I tell you some more boys 

Hey come to think of it I think I told bout her before boys 

Well she is the one who gets my heart she sets my heart aflame 

Yeah I still don't remember her name 

Hmm come to think of it those eyes were blue or were they green 

Hmm I wonder if she's still around hmm you know I'm really not to blame 

Oh I still don't remember her name
