I Remember
(a song set to the music of “I Remember Clifford,” by Benny Golson)
Michael Levy, vocals and piano
Dan Green, bass
Although we never will recover
The life we led as kids
Something inside, we discover...still
Moves like a breeze
Like dappled sunlight dancing through the trees
Seems I recall this from long ago
It’s like a flame somewhere glowing
Deep in our hearts
We’re never lost, though we forget the spark
When skies are black
Love’s jumped the track
And night has pulled the curtain down
And then life becomes a ghost town
That’s when a voice calls out from very near
And it says, “Remember me, I’m here
And you must reach for me, it’s not too late because your life still
Moves like a breeze
Like dappled sunlight dancing through the trees”
What we recall’s not lost at all
Until we end like we began again
Although we never will recover
The life we led as kids
Something inside, we discover...still lives.
