I Remember...

 






We tramped the open moorland in the rainy April weather And came upon the little inn that we had found together The landlord gave us toast and tea and stopped to share a joke And I remember firelight I remember firelight I remember firelight And you remember smoke We ran about the meadow grass with all the harebells bending And shaking in the summer wind a summer never-ending We wandered to the little stream among the river flats And I remember willow trees I remember willow trees I remember willow trees And you remember gnats We strolled the Spanish marketplace at 90 in the shade With all the fruit and vegetables so temptingly arrayed And we can share a memory as every lover must And I remember oranges I remember oranges I remember oranges And you remember dust The autumn leaves are tumbling down and winter's almost here But through the spring and summertime we laughed away the year And now we can be grateful for the gift of memory For I remember having fun Two happy hearts that beat as one When I had thought that we were "we" But we were "you and me"
