I Remember Me

He almost walked into a wall

Oh, man, she was a sight to see

And 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

And they slow danced so the needle wouldn't skip

Until the room was filled with light

And 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 waterslide in Chattanooga

They did not hide from love, you see

A winter's plane flight to Aruba

Where he threw a boombox into the sea

One day they were cutting flowers for something to do

On the bank of the road 'neath the cotton woods

And he turned to 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

And I remember me

And I remember me

A blackhawk nailed to the sky

And the tape is 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 gone to Oklahoma

He bought a little land with the money from the settlement

And 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 wouldn't hear him say

I remember her

And I remember him

I remember them

I remember then

I'm just remembering

I'm just remembering

Just remembering

I'm just remembering
