Yellow Coat

It's a long time since I saw you last

So tell me how you've been

Did you ever get to buy that yellow coat?

Do the flowers in you window box

Still smile when you walk in?

Did you read the letters that I wrote?

And I've been on the road since Christmas

But it don't seem so long

Outside of that there isn't much to say.

I cut down on my drinkin' some

And wrote another song

I wish you wouldn't look at me that way

Remember all the mornings

We'd walk around the park

The nights we babysat for Billy's kids

And all the times we used to talk

Of having one ourselves

I don't remember why we never did

Do the neighbors still complain a bit

When the music gets too loud?

Does your old cat still sleep up on the bed?

And do you still walk around

With your head up in the clouds?

Have you heard a single thing I've said?

It's a two day drive to New York

Guess I'd better go

Have you noticed the weather's gettin' cold?

And it's a long time since I saw you last

Tell me how you've been

Did you ever get to buy that yellow coat?

Did you ever get to buy that yellow coat?
