The Song Remembers When Lyrics

The Song Remembers When lyrics

I was standing at the counter

 I was waiting for the change

 When I heard that old familiar music start

 It was like a lighted match

 Had been tossed into my soul

 It was like a dam had broken in my heart

 

 After taking every detour, 

 Getting lost and losing track

 So that even if I wanted

 I could not find my way back

 After driving out the memory 

 Of the way things might have been

 After I'd forgotten all about us,

 The song remembers when

 

 We were rolling through the Rockies,

 We were up above the clouds

 When a station out of Jackson played that song

 And it seemed to fit the moment,

 And the moment seemed to freeze

 When we turned the music up and sang along

 

 And there was a God in Heaven

 And the world made perfect sense

 We were young and were in love

 And we were easy to convince

 We were headed straight for Eden

 It was just around the bend

 And though I have forgotten all about it,

 The song remembers when

 

 I guess something must have happened

 And we must have said goodbye

 And my heart must have been broken

 Though I can't recall just why

 The song remembers when

 

 Well, for all the miles between us

 And for all the time that's passed

 You would think I haven't gotten very far

 And I hope my hasty heart

 Will forgive me just this once

 If I stop to wonder how on Earth you are

 

 But that's just a lot of water 

 Underneath a bridge I burned

 And there's no use in backtracking

 Around corners I have turned

 Still I guess some things we bury

 Are just bound to rise again

 For even if the whole world has forgotten

 The song remembers when

 Even if the whole world has forgotten

 The song remembers when
