Lyrics - The Sweater - by Shari Ulrich
If I remember you were wearing that sweater
The first time we met
Oh, how could I forget
I thought in that moment I could love you forever
That shy crooked smile
Or was it something you said
And I knew I was yours
For the worst and the best
The sweater is worn now
And there’s nothing much left
Like all of your memories
Losing their threads
The kids will be coming to see you on Friday
Yes dear, they’ve grown
They have kids of their own
They’ll stay in that motel, the one by the highway
Remember the one
Where you hoped I would come to you
And knew I was yours
For the worst and the best
The sweater’s unraveling
There’s nothing much left
Like all of your memories
Losing their threads
Now every day that you’re farther away from me
I’m merely waiting for moments
When out of thin air
you’re suddenly there
And I missed you
Oh how I miss you
Oh, I was yours
For the worst and the best
Your sweater, I sleep with it
Close to my chest
Like all of our memories
I pull at the threads
