I Never Got To Know Her Lyrics

(S. Silverstein)







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
