Shel Silverstein - I Once Knew a Woman lyrics

Well now I once knew a woman listen while I tell you all about her yeah And the first time I seen her I knew I couldn't live without her Well now she swore she'd love me all her life and I knew I'd do the same God damn but I don't even remember her name I don't remember her name Well now I once knew a woman and oh listen while I'm tellin' it to ya yeah She had big brown eyes the kind that could look right through ya Now that she looked in my soul with those big brown eyes Got a feelin' like I never knew hey come to think of it those eyes were blue I think those eyes were blue Well now you end one love then onto another never thinkin' back at the past one Never stop to think oh brother that the next one gonna be just like the last one I once knew a woman listen while I tell you my story She had a heart like the world her lips like a morning glory yeah Well I knew at last I met my fate and I'm bound to settle down Hey I wonder if she's still in town Yeah I once knew a woman and listen while I tell you some more boys Hey come to think of it I think I told bout her before boys Well she is the one who gets my heart she sets my heart aflame Yeah I still don't remember her name Hmm come to think of it those eyes were blue or were they green Hmm I wonder if she's still around hmm you know I'm really not to blame Oh I still don't remember her name
