Lyrics
I Remember
W/M by Bent Myggen, BMI. Copyright 1990
There?s a lone dream waiting to belong
There?s a true heart waiting for a song
There?s an old wrong waiting for a chance
To do right again.
Like the wind blows softly through the trees
Making sounds that stirs your memories
Like an old friend calling from afar
I do remember you.
And I remember waking up in Paradise
I recall the simple things we?d do
How the world would vanish in a sweet surprise
And how nothing meant as much to me as you.
Now they say that love will come and go
And only fools will say it isn?t so
And the love we felt so long ago
Is just a salty tear.
But if all old sayings can be true
Could it be that time will heal all wounds
And if all is dark before the dawn
Then I will shine for you.
And I remember waking up in Paradise
I recall the simple things we?d do
How the world would vanish in a sweet surprise
And how nothing meant as much to me as you.
I remember waking up in Paradise
I recall how simple life could be
How the world could vanish in a pair of eyes
And how nothing meant as much to you as me.
