I Never Got To Know Her

Intro: D E A F#m E D E A A7 Never got to know her very well D E A A7 All we did was spend a little time D E A F#m You're waiting for a story but there's really none to tell E A She's just a passing shadow on my mind E D Bm And I remember her on the streets of New York City E D E As I walked along, looking for some place to go Bm D Bm As she passed I said "Hey there's snowflakes on your lashes" E A A7 And she laughed and said, "That isn't snow" D E A F#m She said, "they're feathers from a pillow God is shaking in the sky" Bm E A A7 And she opened smiling lips to catch a snowflake blowing by D E A F#m And we both began to laugh and then I looked into her eyes E E7 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 E A Never got to know her very well.
