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.
