I can see your face
It's those hands I can't quite remember
I know the exact day we met
The 15 of 1946
I just can't put my finger on
If it were November or December
I can feel your veins
And I've wondered why our heart beats the same tune
I know where we had our first kiss
It was in June and the flowers bloomed
Whilst some wilted to die
I know your lips
But I've completely forgotten the twinkle in your eye
The soft honey brown
I had a dream
About a boy
The one with the eyes like you
I pressed him from my very womb
My vision faded by morning
I couldn't much arrange his birthday
Oh but I knew his birth place
Oklahoma Oklahoma
He gave me a memory
And I'd loan it out to you
I know he knows your eyes too
I can see your face
It's that touch I can't quite place
It's comforting
And uncomfortable
But it brings awkward joy to you
Honestly I feel it surge through me too
I know the exact day we met
I just can't put my finger on
If it were April or May
We would take our handsome son
Out to play
Oh he had a smile
sweet as honey dew
Oklahoma Oklahoma
He gave me a memory
A memory that fades...like you

The Boy Named Oklahoma
