I Remember - Molly Drake

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»
