I think about snow

Down on the green runs taking it slow

You there beside me, your face all aglow

 

I think about songs

Light on my feet as we dance all night long

Swaying in your arms,  right where I belong

And nothing is wrong 

 

This is how I remember you

When old memories run free

This is how I remember you

And who we used to be

This is how I want to remember you 

 

I think about stars 

Telescope pointed at Saturn and Mars 

Meteor showers from the backyard 

No love was like ours 

 

This is how I remember you

When old memories run free

This is how I remember you

And who we used to be

This is how I want to remember you 

 

It’s too easy to dwell on the years of your pain

When all that I wanted was to dance with you again

 

So I think about shores 

Seeing Waikiki from a boogie board 

Look at our daughter, how she soars 

With the dad she adores

 

This is how I remember you

When old memories run free

This is how I remember you

And who we used to be

This is how I want to remember you

This is how I want to remember you

 

Remember you

Remember you

Remember
