And things are a changin' That we can remain the same All I'm trying to say is our love don't have to change No it don't have to change I want to go back (ooh) (Aah) times is hard (times is hard) I pray to God Do you remember (ooh) Oh do you remember

Oh, didn't I? There are times to remember and times that I wish to forget Our time together was tinged with love and regret Oh my girl, my sweet, sweet little girl Didn't I try to tell ya That life was for living And wasn't I the guy who said Stay away

Hard to survive 'Cause even though we were young We had to stay strong No matter what we went through It was me and my crew And that's how it went When we were kids We were tryin' so hard Okay, I remember the days

And I will try to connect All the pieces you left I will carry it on And let you forget And I'll remember the years When your mind was clear How the laughter and life Filled up this silent house Everything that you made by hand

Eighteen years had come and gone For mama they flew by But for me they drug on and on We were loading up that Chevy Both tryin' not to cry Mama kept on talking Putting off goodbye Then she took my hand and said "Baby, don't forget

Remember me: I gave you life You would not take it Your suffering was all in vain It's almost over now Don't turn your back on Paradise The water's edge is where she waits Lost soul still wandering Meant to die, but she's stuck not crossing over

He was a giant When I was just a kid I was always trying To do everything he did I can still remember every lesson he taught me Growing up learning how to be like my old man He was a lion We were our father's pride

We're not who we used to be Trying to remember how it feels to have a heartbeat We're just two ghosts standing in the place of you and me We're just two ghosts swimming in a glass half empty Same lips red, same eyes blue Same white shirt, couple more

I don't need y'all anyway I remember when I wasn't this big And now y'all wanna act like y'all know me, yeah Oh, now everybody wanna love me? Try to knock me down but I'm strong Did all this on my own Ain't got no time for no new friends, so for now just

Where the winds hit heavy on the borderline Remember me to one who lives there She once was a true love of mine Please see for me if her hair hangs long If you're travelin' in the north country fair If you go when the snowflakes storm When the rivers
