Story Behind The Song
This song was inspired by the opening keyboard line. I was in a melancholy mood and this melody - the center of the tune - presented itself to me. This is one of those songs that seemed to write itself.
Song Description
The character in the song is remembering the good things that he and his love had in common, and he's puzzling how things went wrong. This was a relationship 'meant to be' and somehow it didn't stay together.

Lyrics
Floating above you
I wonder if I could come back down
Floating above you
It looks a lot like a place I knew
When I was close to you
Do you remember
Walking in days of rain?
Do you remember
When we felt the same?
That was yesterday
Where did you go and when did I disappoint you?
Why did I let you slip right out of my dream?
Can we forget, go back to sleep, awake in a trance again?
Will you come sleep and dream with me? . . . me
I am sorry
For letting our good thing go
I am sorry
I wish you could know me now
I want to be with you again
Do you remember singing that song we both knew?
Do you remember you sang for me, and I for you?
Do you remember when it didn?t matter
That we were out of key?
All that we needed was together . . . to be.
Do you remember walking in days of rain?
Do you remember when we felt the same?
Where did you go and how did I disappoint you?
I didn?t think I would ever have to let you . . . go
