Now I Must Remember

Do you ever think that
This is now I must remember?
You take in all around you
Colours, taste and smell
Before it fades like a dying ember
All day
Replay
The rush of life
Makes a memory distant
I had coffee with rum
Sang along to the drums
Of the crowd
As we cheered the dawning
(Aaah aaah. etc)
And I want to save it
Somewhere safe
So I’ll remember
Bring it out one day
When everything looks grey
To make me smile
When I’m feeling tender
All day
Replay
The rush of life
Makes a memory distant
And we climbed a hill top
Following a new friend
In the sun of the early morning
(Ahh ahh…)
Do you ever think that
This is now I must remember?
You take in all around you
Colours, taste and smell
Before it fades like a dying ember
All day
Replay
The rush of life
Makes a memory distant
I had coffee with rum
Sang along with the drums
Of the crowd
As we cheered the dawning
I remember long ago
Certain things were simple pleasures…
