It's a long time since I saw you last
|
So tell me how you've been
|
Did you ever get to buy that yellow coat?
|
Do the flowers in you window box
|
Still smile when you walk in?
|
Did you read the letters that I wrote?
|
And I've been on the road since Christmas
|
But it don't seem so long
|
Outside of that there isn't much to say.
|
I cut down on my drinkin' some
|
And wrote another song
|
I wish you wouldn't look at me that way
|
Remember all the mornings
|
We'd walk around the park
|
The nights we babysat for Billy's kids
|
And all the times we used to talk
|
Of having one ourselves
|
I don't remember why we never did
|
Do the neighbors still complain a bit
|
When the music gets too loud?
|
Does your old cat still sleep up on the bed?
|
And do you still walk around
|
With your head up in the clouds?
|
Have you heard a single thing I've said?
|
It's a two day drive to New York
|
Guess I'd better go
|
Have you noticed the weather's gettin' cold?
|
And it's a long time since I saw you last
|
Tell me how you've been
|
Did you ever get to buy that yellow coat?
|
Did you ever get to buy that yellow coat?
