Intro: 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 And I remember her on the streets of New York City As I walked along, looking for some place 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 It was warmer then. But I never got to know her very well All we did was spend a little time If you're waiting for a story, 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 flowered room, and she said, "I'll help you pack" She sewed my shirt, 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; find you where you go" And I left her in her doorway. Ah, why I'll never know But I was younger then 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 Never got to know her very well.
