One Face I Know

We never spoke a word
Your voice I've never heard
Gone before I saw the world
In stumbled the golden girl

I may not be here
That much isn't clear
I may not be
I may not be here

Three full years before
I was born into yours
Taken away
As night swallowed the day

Of all the stories I've been told
Only one face I know

I may not be
I may not be here

Can I shake your hand?
Your one picture is faded and tan
Our one minute to talk
Is under key and lock

All the stories I've been told
Only one face I know

If it wasn't for you
All the people you knew
Where would I be?

You gave me your name
Just a face in a frame
Never to see me

I may not be here

I'd like to say hello
To know what you'd say
I didn't know you'd go
Best of both worlds if you could stay

Of all the stories I've been told
Only one face I know
