Lyrics
Remember
Do you remember when I told you how much I liked to see the change within your eyes when
they?re in range?
It seems like time always has a way of changing everything we do or say... Flash back to
yesterday...
Pre-chorus:
I remember looking through a window,
Still sitting on a fence well above the hill.
You asked me once to, but how could I forget you?
Chorus:
I remember, I remember.
I remember the day yeah.
And I remember. I remember.
I remember the love.
So then I cried your name out to the sky and I waited for an answer but in the clouds you did not
hide.
It seems like only yesterday when we were laughing to ourselves that this would never go away...
Pre-chorus:
I remember blue skies before you became ill
All the pain that came with looking for the pill.
You asked me to forget about you but I never will. (?Cause)
Chorus
Pre-chorus:
I remember blue skies before you became ill
And I?m still sittin? on a fence above the hill.
To forget you is to get to regret you,
More than once you asked me to but I never will.
Chorus
Outro Verse:
Your tide may now wash up on distant shores...
They call to me: ?What are you waiting for??
