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 Yeah, and even if the whole world has forgotten The song remembers when
