As I Recall It - Donovan

As I recall it, the sun was high,

Yellow in the blue, blue sky.

You couldn’t quite make out this boy,

He used life as a toy.

In a Marie-Antoinette room

We were introduced soon,

I was me and you were you,

How do you do?

Raggedy and tousle-haired

He looked as though he never cared

To run a comb where a comb should run,

Freckles from the sun.

Many good times we have had,

We been happy, we been sad,

But I think we both feel glad

That this life is so mad, mad, mad.

As I recall it, the sun was high,

If I remember, the sun was high,

You couldn’t quite make out this boy,

He used life as a toy.

Many good times we have had,

We been happy, baby, we been sad,

But I think we both feel glad

That this life is so mad.

As I recall it, the sun was high,

Yellow in the blue, blue sky,

You couldn’t quite make out this boy,

He used life as a toy.

Yeah!
