Lyrics

VERSE I
While serving in the war, 1945
Not a day went by I wasn’t thinking of you
The grace of God got me out alive
Came back to the states & we said I do
PRE-CHORUS
Swore I’d love ‘til my dying day
Now it approaches
All the light this life has given me
Darkness encroaches
And I say
CHORUS
I remember
The way you’d wear your hair
I remember
Making love everywhere
I remember
Sunset drives on the coast
I remember
My brother’s crazy wedding toast
VERSE II
Life flew by with the pedal down
2 kids, grandkids, retired down south
Had our bumps, had our ups & downs
But not a disrespectful word
Ever dropped from our mouths
PRE-CHORUS
This will probably be my last day
It’s been a good life
Don’t recall a thing from yesterday
But i can think back
And say
CHORUS II
I remember
Snowball fights with our girls
I remember
Your necklace made Akoya pearls
I remember
Our grandsons’ baseball games
I remember
Singing round campfire flames
BRIDGE
Her love was all I’d known
I still have trouble letting her go
9 years since she’s crossed that line
The game is over & it’s now my time
VERSE III
My eyes are heavy setting like the sun
I hear the echo of the gospel hymns
As I fade I see a smiling face
It’s my darlin’ wearing angel’s wings
PRE-CHORUS
The breath of life is slipping away
On to the other side
Like a halo hovering over their heads
I hear them cry
laugh then say
CHORUS III
Do you remember
His old beat up Ford
Do you remember
Never closed the cabinet doors
Do you remember
Miles & miles of fishing line
Do you remember
Laces made of hay bale twine
We put our hearts together
I was yours you were mine
That’s the one thing never taken
Out of my mind
Yes I remember
