| I was standing at the counter
|
| I was waiting for the change
|
| When I heard that old familiar music start
|
| It was like a lighted match
|
| Had been tossed into my soul
|
| It was like a damm had broken in my heart
|
| After taking every detour
|
| Getting lost and losing track
|
| So that even if I wanted
|
| I could not find my way back
|
| After driving out the memory
|
| Of the way things might have been
|
| After I’ve forgotten all about us
|
| The song remembers when
|
| We were rolling through the Rockies
|
| We were up above the clouds
|
| When a station out of Jackson played that song
|
| And it seemed to fit the moment
|
| And the moment seemed to freeze
|
| When we turned the music up and sang along
|
| And there was a God in Heaven
|
| And the world made perfect sense
|
| We were young and were in love
|
| And we were easy to convince
|
| We were headed straight for Eden
|
| It was just around the bend
|
| And though I have forgotten all about it
|
| The song remembers when
|
| I guess something must have happened
|
| And we must have said goodbye
|
| And my heart must have been broken
|
| Though I can’t recall just why
|
| The song remembers when
|
| Well, for all the miles between us
|
| And for all the time that’s passed
|
| You would think I haven’t gotten very far
|
| And I hope my hasty heart
|
| Will forgive me just this once
|
| If I stop to wonder how on Earth you are
|
| But that’s just a lot of water
|
| Underneath a bridge I burned
|
| And there’s no use in backtracking
|
| Around corners I have turned
|
| Still I guess some things we bury
|
| Are just bound to rise again
|
| For even if the whole world has forgotten
|
| The song remembers when
|
| Even if the whole world has forgotten
|
| The song remembers when |
