I Remember...

by

Jo-El Gerber

I remember last year
Like it was just yesterday
When I cried more than just a single tear
because you made me cry and wish that I would die.

I wished once upon a star
That no matter how far
I would go just to find
The one that is the one for me.

I remember my childhood
Just like it was a month ago
I always seemed to enjoy playing in the snow
And I never once hung out in the hood.

Why does so many things have to happen
I couldn't have ever guessed that what happened to me in the future
Would ever happened in the past
How long does this thing have to last.

I remember everything
I can see so clearly now
That what I was afraid of yesterday
Will no longer leave me a stray today.

I remember you and me
And how we were as happy as can be
What went wrong within there
Which would have you believing in fear.

I can see so clearly
As though I was a child again
I am growing up in this big world
And I don't know what to do because I feel still like a stranger.

I remember...
How the leaves would die and fall
And how it seemed we were always at the mall
I remember everything now for some reason that is hard to tell.

I remember my past coming back to haunt me
And being as afraid as afraid can be
What did I fail so badly to see
What would make everything change my reason to be.

Why don't you look at Un ritaglio di luna.
