I remember...
Wedding day
The smell of the flowers
The smiling faces
The dress in the attic
Kept all these years
I remember...
Nights on the lake
Fires on the shore
The child in my womb
Her first cry
Swaddled in my arms
I remember...
His last words
"I'll be home late, don't wait up"
Out the door, never to return
Swallowed by the night
Killed by what he loved
I remember...
I will never forget
All that I have is memory
What is there left when this fades away?
All that I hold so dear to me
Slipping away to dream and eclipse
