From the recording Blacktop Road
Lyrics
Oh I wish I could remember all the faces that I’ve seen,
All the creases, lines and wrinkles from the life lived in between,
But you know I do remember every shape of your smile,
A smile both joy and sadness, so hard to reconcile.
Oh I wish,
Oh I wish,
Oh I wish I could remember you,
Right back into my life.
And I wish I could remember all the voices that I’ve heard,
Voices singing from the heart with strong and simple words,
But you know I do remember the very textures of your laugh,
A laugh that echoes from your eyes now in treasured photographs.
Oh I wish,
Oh I wish,
Oh I wish I could remember you,
Right back into my life.
And now I’m living with the memory of all the times I thought we’d share,
I hope you know that I love you more than I ever thought I’d dare.
And I wish I could remember all the tears I’ve cried,
Tears of joy and sorrow, tears that had no reason why,
But you know I do remember the tears of your goodbye,
Tears that stain my broken heart and never seem to dry.
Oh I wish,
Oh I wish,
Oh I wish I could remember you,
Right back into my life.
Oh I wish,
Oh I wish,
Oh I wish I could remember you,
Right back into my life.
