It was just the other morning,
I was bringing in the paper,
I forgot about you a long time ago
The extras, they were empty,
the pictures tainted blue
and the things I had to do
There was a misty morning sunshine
I forgot about you a long time ago
Gold lace up in the window,
shirt hangin' on the chair
The way you turned your head,
the way back in you're starin'
The gentle sound of a song,
I forgot about you a long time ago
Now I see those paper angels
chasing diamonds in the sky
and the shadows under their eyes
I never knew I would miss you
I forgot about you a long time ago
The colored lights are glowing,
And just outside the door,
there's an old box hanging round
I'm just covered up with years,
tied with a ribbon, fading slow
I forgot about you a long time ago
Oh, I forgot about you a long
