I Remember Me

He almost walked into a wall Oh, man, she was a sight to see And at the party down the hall He said, "you are the highest apple in the tree" Out the window, in the harbor he saw a little ship The moon was worn just slightly on the right And they slow danced so the needle wouldn't skip Until the room was filled with light And I remember you And I remember me The sunshine walking inside you And the man you could see in me So I remember me And I remember you So many beautiful days in a row now And the nights were perfect, too Hand in hand down a waterslide in Chattanooga They did not hide from love, you see A winter's plane flight to Aruba Where he threw a boombox into the sea One day they were cutting flowers for something to do On the bank of the road 'neath the cotton woods And he turned to her to ask if she'd marry him When a runaway truck hit him where he stood So I remember you And I remember you And I remember you And I remember me And I remember me A blackhawk nailed to the sky And the tape is from the trees Everybody said she needed to move on That he was all but lost, so deep was his coma When he finally came to the girl he loved was long gone She'd married a banker and gone to Oklahoma He bought a little land with the money from the settlement And even bought the truck that had hit him that day He touched the part where the metal was bent And if you were there you wouldn't hear him say I remember her And I remember him I remember them I remember then I'm just remembering I'm just remembering Just remembering I'm just remembering
