I Remember Lyrics

I remember a faraway laugh, a sweet caress

You'd help me zip up my dress

I remember your arms around my neck

21 shells wrapped in my nest

Endlessness, didn't last

I won't change, given the chance

And I remember no place for me to hide

Before you came home at night

I remember you turning out the lights

All I ever saw was the red in your eyes

No big surprise, happened nearly every night

Your own flesh and blood, I did wonder why

I remember not knowing what to say

And how calm you had remained

Your child stillborn with no name

I remember the never ending summer rain

Oh, please don't let what was

Get in the way of what's next

Don't forget, that what's to come hasn't come yet
