The Long Purple Dress I Can’t Forget

To the lady I loved, a purple long dress of the 40s

Henry Pham

 

Fifty years passed and so fast

That I don’t have time to miss you.

You are always in my heart today

As you were in our old day.

I waited for you in front of your school,

The weather was sweet and cool,

The long purple dress was floating

In the wind, and in the wind

My soul was flowing to be with you.

 

Oh purple long dress!

I will never forget you.

You brought me the tenderness

Of that old time we loved each other,

The time we wish to be together.

 

But I can’t see you any more

Since the day you get married,

Since the time you left me

To be in the new life with someone

You don’t want to be.

 

Oh purple long dress,

Oh time of love!

I am waiting for you all my life.

You are floating, floating

In my heart, in my mind

Fifty years passed, and so fast,

but I can never forget you.
