The mustard colored coat,
You always used to wear.
The red beaded dress,
That gave you such a flare.
That little pink cowboy hat
That smells like your shampoo.
Those gold buckled 3-inch heels,
I used to steal from you.
I’m standing in your closet,
Wearing your green cardigan;
Thinking I’d give it all away,
If I could just see you again.
