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
