All that I have of you is a photograph We're in a row-boat You're wearing my coat You're trying to make me laugh It seems like yesterday Love was all we knew And now a photograph Is all I have of you
It was a wet September Wednesday They were closing down the park I tried to bribe the row-boat man For one half hour's lark
He smiled and said go right ahead It ain't too cold to spark And we had fun, didn't we hon' We stayed out until dark
We played a losing game of love forever Wе never learnеd the rules While we made plans and laughed the days out Life played us for fools
I found work as a late-night clerk You went away to school Then the letter came, you told me his name He takes you rowing too
Now all I have of you is a photograph We're in a row-boat You're wearing my coat You're trying to make me laugh It seems like yesterday Love was all we knew And now a photograph Is all I have of you
