Remember [song] - DOG DAYS ARE OVER

May 13, 2017
Remember dancing, tasting the present, It as fleeting as our movements and our feet Remember hugging, each other on days of sorrow, Freeing feelings caged underneath Our skin Remember the times we cried, the nights we felt we would die Because the world seemed to doom us and we felt we couldn’t try ...When I thought I’d hold someone in my arms Tell them those three words to break the spells and charms Breaking the silence of my caged, beating heart I remember realizing those same feelings, Condensed into the connections more commonly found Coz I might as well be grateful For the love I already have around Remember~ The present, like a gift from the past Remember~ The future like a mystery, pirouetting on the possibilities of your acts Remember Time Is But sand passing through our fingers, Let me see you live now, while our lives still linger Remember singing, recalling the songs of the past, It as fleeting vocal melodies flowing fast Remember laughing, with each other on days of sorrow, Freeing feelings kept underneath Our skin Remember the times we sighed, the days we felt we couldn’t fly Because this system seemed to screw us, felt we couldn’t get by ...When I thought you’d hold someone in your arms Sing three words to blind you from harm Sing to the Earth, to the skies, to the oceans, your beating heart Remember~ The present, like a gift from the past Remember~ The future like a mystery, pirouetting on the possibilities of your acts Remember Time Is But sand passing through our fingers, Let me see you live now, while our lives still linger Remember your life is now! Should’ve, could’ve, would’ve, regretfully Make that an “am” “doing”, sing with me Make that an “am” “doing”, sing with me... I’ll remember I’ll never live this moment the same way again I’ll forget Past, present, future, as separated as “now” and “then” I’ll remember This song will never be sung the same way again I’ll forget The words to this song in right before my death But the words’ essence won’t die, immortal ghosts will be left Remember~ The present, like a gift from the past Remember~ The future like a mystery, pirouetting on the possibilities of your acts Remember Time Is But sand passing through our fingers, Let me see you live now, while our lives still linger Remember your life is now! Should’ve, could’ve, would’ve, regretfully Make that an “am” “doing”, sing with me Make that an “am” “doing”, sing with me... Can I ground myself in what so easily floats away? (Memories...)
