The way she laughed, the way she loved
I missed the point, I missed the signs
Oh my God, what did I do?
So if she's gone the fault is mine
She would still be gone
'64, she was born in Baton Rouge
Her eyes are blue, her hair was long
I memorized her every move
I knew her books, her car, her clothes
But I paid no attention to what mattered most
Her fathers tall, her mothers gone
I memorized her every move
Her favorite song is 'In My Life'
Her eyes are blue, her hair was long
And that made them easy to ignore
Her eyes are blue, her hair was long
I could list them 1 by 1
'64, she was born in Baton Rouge
[Incomprehensible] attention
Her favorite song is 'In My Life'
'64, she was born in Baton Rouge
And I know, I know
She moved out west when she was 2
And even though
I know, I know
[Incomprehensible] attention
I missed the forest full of trees
She dreamed her dreams, behind closed doors
I never ask, she never said
Cold facts and nothing more
Oh, but she walked out of the door
A whole lot of little things
And when she cried, I turned my head
And all I have to show
But I paid no attention to what mattered most
I knew her books, her car, her clothes
