I thought I knew, the girl so well
If she was sad, I couldn't tell
I missed the point, I missed the signs
So if she's gone, the fault is mine
I know, I know, a whole lot of little things
And even though, I could list them one by one
She would still be gone
Chorus
Her eyes are blue her hair is long
In '64 she was born
in Baton Rouge
Her favorite song is "In My Life"
I memorized her every move
I knew her books, her car, her clothes
But I paid, no attention to what mattered most
Verse 2
