Title Forgive me, I remember you!
[Verse]
The room is just a faded shade of beige
A quiet and a comfortable cage
You sit there with a book upon your lap
And pour the tea that helps the moments snap…
I watch your hand…the steam begins to rise…
It catches me…right through the clouded skies…
[Verse 2]
You take my hand to pass a china cup
A simple,daily gesture, lifting me up
But then your thumb…it brushes on my skin…
A tiny thread…I feel the pull begin…
A sudden jolt…a shudder deep inside…
A door swings open…that I cannot hide…
[Pre-Chorus]
The fog…it doesn’t lift… it shatters…
The world stops its mindless chatters…
And in the silence…loud and clear…
A tune from’96… I start to hear…
[Chorus]
And there you are!My God, it’s you!
The girl in white…my whole world view!
The love that time itself defines…
I see it now…behind your eyes!
And all the days I let you slip away…
Are crashing down on me today!
This face I didn’t know…I’ve loved my whole life through…
Forgive me…I remember you…
[Verse 3]
The taste of cake…the scent of summer air…
The way you wove the jasmine in your hair…
I feel it all…a tidal wave of then…
And I’m a whole and happy man again…
But in your eyes…I see the tired truth…
The endless days…of my uncaring youth…
[Pre-Chorus]
This clarity…it’s beautiful and cruel…
A priceless and a temporary jewel…
I know it’s just a moment…soon I’ll fade…
Back to the stranger…that you’ve patiently stayed…
[Chorus]
And there you are!My God, it’s you!
The woman who has seen me through!
The love that time itself defines…
I see it now…behind your eyes!
And all the hell I put you through…not knowing who you were…
Is a crushing,burning, painful blur!
This face I didn’t know…I’ve loved my whole life through…
Forgive me…I remember you…
[Bridge]
Oh,the weight… the weight upon your heart…
To play the wife…and play the part…
Of just the keeper…of the gate…
For a man who’s always…late…
I’m so sorry…for the man I am… when I’m not me…
For putting your sweet heart through this agony…

[Final Chorus]
And there you are…my love… it’s you…
But the light is breaking…the picture’s coming loose…
I’m losing grip…I feel it slipping through…
My darling…what I put you through…
The fog rolls back…I’m… I’m not sure what is true…
I just know…I’m safe… right here with you…
…Who are you…?
