It’s not just fabric but a thought
That recalls every lesson taught
I never planned to be this way
But here I am like this today

A slip once worn by someone close
Feelings carry me along
A transport to the past
Mem’ries unsurpassed
That fill this heart with song

White slip and pretty pull-up hose
I’m awfully thin from head to toes
I love the way the satin feels
And wearing sandals with low heels

I’ve tried to put it off to let it go
With shame that ere assails
But then I think of you
Oh what to do as every effort fails

I was so lost but then was found
A transformation so profound
You saw the girl is what you said
Inside the boy with whom you wed

It’s more that clothing, or attire
Of yours I had come to admire
Your spirit touched me deep inside
No long forced to run and hide

So now I find myself remembering
The times that we have shared
In all the years that passed I simply know
That you're the one who cared
