I Remember Me

He almost walked into a wall

Oh man she was a sight to see

At the party down the hall

He said "you are the highest apple in the tree"

Out the window in the harbor he saw a little ship

The moon was worn just slightly on the right

They slow-danced so the needle wouldn't skip

And he held her till the room was filled with light

I remember you and I remember me

The sunshine walking inside you/and the man you could see in me.

So I remember me and I remember you

So many beautiful days in a row now and the nights were perfect too

Hand in hand down a water slide in Chattanooga

They did not hide from love you see

A winter's plane flight to Aruba

Where he threw a boom box into the sea.

One day they were cutting flowers for something to do

On the bank of the road 'neath the cottonwoods

He turned o her to ask if she'd marry him

When a runaway truck hit him where he stood.

So I remember you and I remember you

And I remember you do-do-do-do-do

And I remember me and I remember me

A blackhalk nailed to the sky/and the tape hiss from the trees.

Everybody said she needed to move on

That he was all but lost so deep was his coma.

When he finally came to, the girl he loved was long gone.

She'd married a banker and moved to Oklahoma.

He bought a little land with the money from the settlement

And he even bought the truck that had hit him that day

He touched the part where the metal was bent.

And if you were there you would hear him say.

I remember her and I remember him

I remember them and I remember then..

I'm just rememberin' I'm just rememberin'
