        G          G        F                   C/E* C*
And I remember her   on the streets of New York City

     G                 G         F                  C/E* C*
as I walked the night,   needing some place warm to go.

       G             G              F                  C/E*  C*
As she passed I said   "Hey there's snowflakes on your lashes"

        G                 G             C      C
and she laughed and said,   "That isn't snow".
[Pre-Chorus 1]
                  F               G             C              C
She said "they're feathers from a pillow God is shaking in the sky"

        G              G               C                 C
and she opened smiling lips to catch a snowflake blowing by.

       F             G                C               C      C
And we both began to laugh and then I looked into her eyes

           G          G     G     G
and it was warm again.
[Chorus 1]
      F            G             C         C
But I never got to know her very well,

F              G              C         C
all we did was spend a little time.

       F             F                 C              Am*
You're waiting for a story but there's really none to tell,

      Dm*            G*           C*
she's just a passing shadow on my mind.
[Interlude] | Dm G | C Am | Dm G | C | [Verse 2]
        G          G       F              C
But I remember her   as we woke up warm together

       G           G         F                    C/E* C*
in her sunlit room   and she said, "I'll help you pack".

        G              G       F                  C
And she sewed my shirt   and I said "I'll stay forever"

        G                    G             C      C
but she laughed and put some cookies in my sack.
[Pre-Chorus 2]
              F               G                 C                    C
And she said "Leave a trail of cookie crumbs as you walk through the snow

        G               G              C                  C
and someday I'll follow after and I'll find you where you go".

      F               G           C              C*
And I left her in her doorway but why I'll never know  …

          G          G     G     G
but I was younger then.
[End-Chorus]
      F            G             C         C
So, I never got to know her very well,

    F            G              C         C
all   we did was spend a little time.

       F             F                 C              Am*
You're waiting for a story but there's really none to tell,

      Dm*            G*           C          C
she's just a passing shadow on my mind.

           F             G                 C              Am*
Oh, you're waiting for a story but there's really none to tell
[Outro] | Dm* G* | C* |
