I Remember

Dianne Reeves

I remember the sounds from the hall and the books on the shelf,

I remember them all.

I remember the clock on the desk and the chair and the rug,

And all of the rest.

Like the venetian blinds drawn shut,

The record playing over and over until dawn,

Until the grooves had worn thin on that one song.



I remember thinking we were worlds apart

Until I heard your words and it spoke my heart.

I remember thinking I was too far gone

And you reminded me that there is no such thing.



I remember a weight like lead crashing down on my hope,

Thunder in my head.

I remember the pain, the spasm, the sense of lost

Falling into a chasm

And the blinds drawn shut,

The record playing over and over

Until dawn, until the grooves had worn thin

On that one song.



I remember thinking we were worlds apart

Until I heard your words and it spoke my heart.

I remember thinking I was too far gone

And you reminded me that there is no such thing.



I remember

Like it was yesterday

I remember

Like it was yesterday

I remember

You're smile

I remember you touch, your voice

I remember, oh I remember

I remember thinking we were worlds apart

Until I heard your words and they spoke my heart

I remember thinking I was too far gone

And you reminded me, you did, that's there no such thing

No such thing
