"Sue" lyrics

He'd pick me up from school
With that smile on his face
And he'd always start his stories with "when I was your age"
He supported me through college
With the cash he hid away
And when I started writing songs, he asked me "what's her name?"

He said "Every artist needs a muse"
Then looked across the room
And said "The only thing that time can't change are the things that love will do"

Now he doesn't know my name
And he thinks that everyday's the first of June
And the faces in the frames
Are the memories that faded way too soon
You can see it on his face
That everything about the day is new
He won't remember why, or when, or what he's supposed to do
But he'll never forget Sue

He met her in the hallways
Of that high school up in Queens
He said "I'll love you always"
Didn't know what that would mean
They got married in the 20's
He still thinks he's twenty-three
She wakes up everyday in love with the man he used to be

And he starts coming to
When she walks in the room
Cause the only thing that time can't change is the things the love will do

Now he doesn't know my name
And he thinks that everyday's the first of June
And the faces in the frames
Are the memories that faded way too soon
You can see it on his face
That everything about the day is new
He won't remember why, or when, or what he's supposed to do
But he'll never forget

Her smile, her eyes
That keep him tailored to this life
Inside his mind
She's all that he can recognize

Now he doesn't know my name
And he thinks that everyday's the first of June
And the faces in the frames
Are the memories that faded way too soon
You can see it on his face
That everything about the day is new
He won't remember why, or when, or what he's supposed to do
But he'll never forget Sue
