You Never Remind Me

Linda Eder

You never remind me of Paris in Spring


A Rembrandt, I find, to my mind you don't bring


There's no work of art could start to compare


You never remind me of pricey French wine


Or tuxedoed gents who have dinner at nine


Every other man is Vin Ordinaire


You're so unique I find


So well-designed


That every single thing about you


Reminds me of only you


You never remind me of summers in Spain


The sun when it's setting, the sound of the rain


New Years with Dick Clark, or Park Avenue


You never remind me of Sir Lancelot


My memory of him is totally shot


King Midas touch, not much next to you


'Cause if the truth be known


When we're alone


Than every single thing about you


Reminds me of only you





You never remind me of gods that are Greek


My dear,


And though I may hang on each word that you speak


It's clear


Ahead and behind me I lose track of all events


And as a consequence, you are my present tense





You never remind me of anyone who


Reminds me of anyone other than you


Compare though I will, I still can't equate


'Cause when you're here with me


Then vis-á-vis


You raise the heat repeatedly


So if I forget to recall


Remind me again, that's all
