Melanie Bailiff - Old Red Sweater Lyrics

It was a chilly Autumn morning
I was late for work again
I couldn't find anything to wear
I wanted to go back to bed
And there at the back of
My dresser drawer it appeared
The crimson red sweater
He gave me for Christmas
Our first year
Something bright and cheerful he said
It reminded him of me
And of the love we shared
It looked good with my
Pretty brown hair
And how you remind me
Of the simple times back then
Before his love grew cold for me
As the January wind
Old Red Sweater
If I put you on
Will he even notice
Or will he just be gone
Oh remind him of a time
When his passion burned inside
I don't know, but old red sweater
You're sure worth a try
I wonder if you'll still fit
And my hair ain't brown no more
You're looking a lot like
His love for me
Which is faded and worn
Ironically, we're both alike
'Cause we've both been put on a shelf
While he spends countless hours
Acquiring toys and wealth
Old Red Sweater, if I put you on
Will he even notice
Or will he just be gone
Oh, remind him of a time
When his passion burned inside
I don't know, but old red sweater
You're sure worth a try
And how you've reminded me of
The simple times back then
And now his love's grown cold for me
As the January wind
Old red sweater, if I put you on
Will he even notice
Or will he just be gone
Oh, remind him of the time
When his passion burned inside
I don't know, but old red sweater
You're sure worth a try
Sure worth a try
Sure worth a try
