I recall at the end of it all
|
You were on your knees and I was standing tall
|
But is my memory deceiving me?
|
Was I hanging there while you prayed for me?
|
Remember how when the show was done,
|
We were dancing and singing and having some fun,
|
Then I heard you speak, your voice was bleak---
|
"What we forget we must repeat."
|
|
R-E-M-E-M-B-E-R, R-E-M-E-M-B-E-R
|
|
I remember the tricks of the trade,
|
Who got left behind and who made the grade,
|
And I don't need the pages of some master plan
|
To tell me what to do or tell me who I am
|
But when all is said and all is done,
|
Under the yellow glow of a setting sun,
|
It really doesn't matter what you have done,
|
You are blind and deaf and dumb
|
|
R-E-M-E-M-B-E-R, R-E-M-E-M-B-E-R
|
|
I remember an endless space
|
And the tolling bells of some holy place
|
Is it a dream that comes back to me
|
Or a memory that I can barely see?
|
Not the voices that haunt my mind
|
Of the friends and lovers I have left behind.
|
|
What I see, what comes back to me,
|
Is a place I cannot find.
|
|
R-E-M-E-M-B-E-R, R-E-M-E-M-B-E-R
