I Had You Once

[Verse 1]
You wore the simplest of outfits
But I got caught up in the magic
I got caught up in the bits and seams and threads of you
You knew your actions as magnetic
You were so self aware about it all
But I got swept up in the weather of you and Greenwich Village
Sitting, waiting, watching for those auburn papers to fall

[Chorus]
Oh but I, I had you once
I had you once
Oh but I, I had you once
I had you

[Verse 2]
I always remember that time I didn't kiss you
Cause we giggled and laughed it off anyways
But I can't think about, the what-if's anymore
Gotta my head around that one simple phrase

[Chorus]
Oh but I, I had you once
I had you once
Oh but I, I had you once
I had you

[Bridge]
And no you departed seemingly soon
But you promise me validity in what we assumed
We were the right people made for the wrong time
But I'll always know that once you were mine

[Chorus]
Oh but I, I had you once
I had you once
Oh but I, I had you once
I had you
No it wasn't even enough time
But you were mine
Oh but I, I had you once
I had you
I had you
I had you
