Lyrics
The old oak tree still holds the swing that I made for us
Its chains lie deep within the bark
Like thoughts get covered up
Your eyes move slowly to the trunk where a heart is carved
How can you not remember
The names in it are ours?
If for just a moment
You'd remember me
And all the life that we have shared
And all you mean to me
If for just a moment you'd remember me
Each day I wait to hear my name come from your lips, my dear
We've shared the best of all these years
How could it disappear
Today I look into your eyes and wonder who you see
I know your face more than my own
Can't you tell it's me?
If for just a moment
You'd remember me
And all the life that we have shared
And all you mean to me
If for just a moment you'd remember...
My mind is torn in so many ways
Aren't memories supposed to last a lifetime
If for just a moment
You'd remember me
And all the life that we have shared
And all you mean to me
If for just a moment you'd remember me
