• I Knew Him When

I knew him when
He bought me violets now and then.
I knew him when
The ring he wore was purchased at the "Five and Ten".
I knew him when
we used to ride on top of a bus,
And dream of that someday flat;
And then the date
For dinner at eight
At the automat!

So that's the boy whose name is up in blazing lights,
That's all there is;
The boy made good, but local girl is still in tights,
There is no more!
Together when the going was rough,
He recognised me then;
Sister, it's tough when you knew them when!
