Dr. Hook I Never Got to Know Her

And I remember her
On the streets of New York City
As I walked the night
Needed someplace warm to go
As she passed I said
Hey there's snowflake 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 going 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 sowed my shirt
And I said I'll stay forever
But she laughed and put some cookies in my sack
She said leave a trail of cookie crumbs
As you walk through the snow
And some day 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
You're waiting for a story
But there's really not to tell
