remember, love, the night we spent
under the stars until morning light came
remember the words we said all night long

remember, love, the way I look at you
I promise, promise, promise - it’s always true

remember, love, when you uttered those words
unexpected though it was
there’s nothing else I wanted to hear

remember, love, the night we fought
I don’t think I cried
but I never again want to feel that way

remember, love, your raised voice
mine tied in knots on the other end
next to you is the only place I want to be
just to feel the touch of your hand.

remember, love, everything I say
because all the words ring true
over and over and over again
I want it to begin and end with you

remember, love, the way it feels
to hold my hand in yours
remember the things you say to me
when you hold me and I cry

remember, love, the way it tastes
to touch your lips to mine

remember, love, the way you looked
into my eyes the first time.

remember, love, when I write
you always play on my mind.
remember, love, when you sing
somewhere I’m listening

remember, love, the way I melt
when you’re close as close can be

remember, dear, the way it feels to be in loving company.
