INTRO
I thought I knew, the girl so well
if she was sad, I couldn't tell
I missed the point, I missed the sings
so if she's gone, the fault is mine
I know, I know, a whole lot of little things
and even though, I could face them one by one
she would still be gone
Her eyes are blue
her hair is long
sixty four
she was born
in Batton rouge
the very song
is in my life
I meorized her ev'ry move
I knew her books, her car, her clothes
but I paid, no attention to what mattered most
I never asked, she never said
And when she cried I turned my head
She dreamed her dreams behind closed doors
That made them easy to ignore
And I know, I know, I missed the forest for the trees
Now all I have to show
Or would she walk out the door?
The cold facts and nothin' more
Her eyes are blue, her hair is long, sixy four
she was born, in Batton Rouge,
Her father's tall, her mother's gone,
She moved out when she was two,
The way she laughed, the way she loved,
Oh my God what did I do?
