I still freeze when I look at these faded photographs from February Last 22nd or 23rd Shared some dumplings, whispered some words We had two, maybe three bucks saved Between us sat in blankets on the floor Used to wish for money in rain A west side apartment, paper plane Ooh, then you left in May Took the wrong long way back home Wish I'd known that I had all I could want In our tiny apartment above the Chinese restaurant Street sounds blistered with neon lights Heard the neighbors snoring every other night Eating dumplings from next door Finish 'em up, they'd give us some more Didn't realize we had it all Even when the roof came caving in that fall Oh, I loved you more than you know Covered in flakes of crystal white snow Ooh, then you left in May Took the wrong long way back home Wish I'd known that I had all I could want In our tiny apartment above the Chinese restaurant Ooh
