Christmas Day '88 on a Maxell VHS
I pop it in, let it spin
And like a freight train it hits
There's so much of you I forget
I could've swore you had some more auburn in your hair
You ain't as tall as I recall or near as young man I swear
The man I knew ain't the one who
I'm seeing standing there
It used to be I could see your face
Anytime that I close my eyes
Hear your voice through the noise
Still feel your hand holding mine
I never thought when I lost you there'd be
Any more of you left to lose
But your memory's almost faded now
And I'm forgetting how to remember you
I got some shirts and hats of yours
Hanging in my closet
One or two still smell like you
But your Brut is fading off them
Day by day, piece by piece
Parts of you keep leaving me
It used to be I could see your face
Anytime that I close my eyes
Hear your voice through the noise
Still feel your hand holding mine
I never thought when I lost you there'd be
Any more of you left to lose
But your memory's almost faded now
And I'm forgetting how to remember you
When the day comes and I see you on the other side
Are you someone that I'm even gonna recognize
It used to be I could see your face
Anytime that I close my eyes
Hear your voice through the noise
Still feel your hand holding mine
I never thought when I lost you there'd be
Any more of you left to lose
But your memory's almost faded now
And I'm forgetting how
Dad your memory's almost faded now
And I'm forgetting how to remember you
