Lyrics
Do you remember?
Verse 1
You taught me how to ride my bike
Took the training wheels off 'n said hold on tight
You'd mend the wounds upon my skin
Said Get up now Son and try again
You helped me seal the deal on my first wheels
Taught me how to cast off a spinning reel
Now your sitting there in your chair
Just a shell of that man I used to see there
Chorus
Do you remember? That was you.. This is me
Do you remember? All of our memories
You talk about your friend's n foe; you've memories from long ago
But it hurts the most that I don't know ...if you remember me
Do you remember?
Verse 2
With my first step you held my hand
Laced my shoes with a poem so that I understand
Tied up my hair in ponytails and bows
Talked about love and all its highs and lows
On my wedding day you still held my hand
Cos you were always my best friend
Now you're lying there in your bed
Just a shell of that woman instead
Chorus
Do you remember? That was you.. This is me
Do you remember? All of our memories
You talk about your friend's n foe; you've memories from long ago
But it hurts the most that I don't know ...if you remember me
Do you remember?
Bridge
Part of you will live in my memories
When you take your last breath I hope you hear me
When I tell you I love you
This is me.....Do you remember?
Chorus
Do you remember? That was you.. This is me
Do you remember? All of our memories
You talk about your friend's n foe; you've memories from long ago
But it hurts the most that I don't know ...if you remember me
Do you remember?
