I don’t remember anything
Alcohol erased them all; the memories are gone my mind wiped clean
What happened to you where did you go?
And should I feel this alone?
I do remember there’s a name (Sweet Terri Lee)
I can barely see us back there falling into love on swingset games
And now I don’t know what it means
When I feel your presence in my dreams
I can remember holding hands
Where has all the color gone; Atlantic ocean blue sun cinnamon sands
Swept on across a winter day
Who came and stole this scene from me?
Is it all slipping away? Tell me there is something left to save
But I will not be fooled by anything.
Here until I hear your sweet voice sing.
I don’t remember how it felt my heart ripped from my chest
Disappointed lovers learn their lessons from the best.
I can remember in your eyes ( Sweet Terri Lee)
Where is all the color like Atlantic ocean blue sun cinnamon skies
Bright on a windy winter day
Who Came and took this all away?
(Sweet Terri Lee)
