Paul Kelly & The Messengers I Had Forgotten You
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
