I Remember, I Remember... Lyrics

I pull the past over me like a blanket and I remember

I remember from February to November

My mouth goes soft under yours

My arms go limp

As you kiss me goodbye

And you grin

Just like that

You walk out on me

I haven't said a word

But I'm having a baby

One day you walk back in

I should say, go to hell

You tell me to peel you an orange

I should say, peel it yourself

But then you lay your head

Upon my silver breast

And I remember, I remember

February to November

The sun, blazing hot

Eating peaches together

These blue days

That last forever

I like myself today and people are kind to me

They stand and give me their seat

My stomach is huge

But my face is pretty

I read most of the time

And I am happy

Now, snow is falling

My hair is long and curly

I remember, I remember

February to November

I hear a woman scream, mother, mother

Jesus, Jesus, shouts another

Chloroform, chloroform, I exclaim

Courage, courage, the nurse says

After, I can't sleep

Though he never cries

Should he be as silent as this

Is that a bad sign

How can he be so tiny

How can he be so pretty

I remember, I remember

February to November
