Lyrics
Sometimes I remember and then forget
Something like a name, and I feel regret.
But with you it's never hard to recall
Anything about you whether big or small.
Memories we make have highs and lows
They trace our lives. They come and grow.
Our love helps us to remember when
And who, what, where, how and why were then.
My mind paints this image of when we first met.
It was raining, in springtime. It was so wet.
Your umbrella leaked. You were soaked right through.
Luckily mine was wide enough for two.
Memories we make have highs and lows
They trace our lives. They come and grow.
Our love helps us to remember when
And who, what, where, how and why were then.
Every time you're near, a flood of memories
Washes like a wave right over me.
It is one of comfort and things we've done,
Like gondolas in Venice or that beach you love.
Memories we make have highs and lows
They trace our lives. They come and grow.
Our love helps us to remember when
And who, what, where, how and why were then.
There's where we went. We are the who.
How was together and why 'cause of you.
