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 dam 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'd 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 to 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
|
|
And 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
|
Yeah and even if the whole world has forgotten the song remembers when
|
