Nils Lofgren - Lost A Number Lyrics

I met someone tonight who touched my heart
I asked her to dance she said that sounded good
I kept her company as she walked home
I wanted to know her and she understood

I felt in love and I was very shy
I shook her hand and she gave me her number
I felt afraid as she walked to her door
Then she turned and said she wanted to see me some more

I ran back home just as fast as I could
I knew I wouldn't sleep for a week or two
I'll make some coffee that I couldn't drink
I knew if I won her my dreams would come true

All of a sudden my eyes started to cry
Her magic number was no where to be found
My heart was screaming when my mind realized
The wind had come and stole it when I wrote it down

Have you ever lost your number it's like losing your world
Have you slept on a cloud when there's thunder
Have you ever lost the number of a magic girl
(I need a shoulder) I lost her number
(I need a shoulder) I lost her number
(I need a shoulder) I lost her number

Have you ever lost your number it's like losing your world
Have you slept on a cloud when there's thunder
Have you ever lost the number of a magic girl
(I need a shoulder) I lost her number
(I need a shoulder) I lost her number
(I need a shoulder) I lost her number

It took me three weeks just to find her door
The tears in my eyes had made it hard to discover
I found it twice and then I wondered once more
Was she at home? Did she have a new number?

I broke the door down and I choked inside
She'd move forever and I'd never find her
An empty house, but she'd left something behind
I fell as I stared at the tragic reminder
On every wall in every room to my surprise

She'd hung a picture of her two beautiful rainbow eyes
