Lyrics
The candles all had melted, I was hours late.
I didn't think I'd find you,
I didn't think you'd wait.
I said it wouldn't happen,
Then I let you down again
I never could remember,
But I remember when.
It was June 17th, 4:15
I was standing in the kitchen.
You were somewhere in-between
The den and the hallway
In those old blue jeans,
And that hard rock t-shirt
That you bought for me.
You bushed by my shoulder
Just to reach for your keys.
It was June 17th.
The candles all have melted,
And man it's getting late.
The wine is almost finished.
I guess I couldn't wait.
The years went by so fast.
Occasions used to slip my mind,
But I remember when you left me,
The date the place the time. CHORUS:
I'd forgotten Valentine's day,
The place where we met,
Our first anniversary,
But the moment you left...
It was June 17th, I remember.
It was June 17th, I remember.
