I Remember

[Verse 1] I remember a faraway laugh A sweet caress You'd help me zip up my dress I remember your arms around my neck Twenty-one shells wrapped in a nest Endlessness Didn't last I won't change Given the chance [Verse 2] I remember no place for me to hide Before you came home at night I remember you turning out the lights All I ever saw was the red in your eyes No big surprise Happened nearly every night Your own flesh and blood I did wonder why [Verse 3] I remember not knowing what to say And how calm you had remained your child Stillborn with no name I remember the never ending summer rain Ooh Please don't let what was Get in the way of what's next Don't forget that what's to come hasn't come yet
