Lyrics

[00:01.85] He almost walked into a wall
[00:10.76] Oh man she was a sight to see
[00:18.89] At the party down the hall
[00:28.71] He said "you are the highest apple in the tree"
[00:37.56] Out the window in the harbor he saw a little ship
[00:46.02] The moon was worn just slightly on the right
[00:55.21] They slow-danced so the needle wouldn't skip
[01:04.61] And he held her till the room was filled with light
[01:11.12] I remember you and I remember me
[01:21.51] The sunshine walking inside you/and the man you could see in me.
[01:30.57] So I remember me and I remember you
[01:39.54] So many beautiful days in a row now and the nights were perfect too
[01:48.16] Hand in hand down a water slide in Chattanooga
[01:56.91] They did not hide from love you see
[02:06.17] A winter's plane flight to Aruba
[02:15.73] Where he threw a boom box into the sea.
[02:23.43] One day they were cutting flowers for something to do
[02:33.22] On the bank of the road 'neath the cottonwoods
[02:42.63] He turned o her to ask if she'd marry him
[02:51.22] When a runaway truck hit him where he stood.
[02:59.19] So I remember you and I remember you
[03:07.71] And I remember you do-do-do-do-do
[03:17.55] And I remember me and I remember me
[03:24.97] A blackhalk nailed to the sky/and the tape hiss from the trees.
[03:36.15] Everybody said she needed to move on
[03:48.29] That he was all but lost so deep was his coma.
[03:56.65] When he finally came to, the girl he loved was long gone.
[04:07.41] She'd married a banker and moved to Oklahoma.
[04:15.35] He bought a little land with the money from the settlement
[04:22.60] And he even bought the truck that had hit him that day
[04:31.73] He touched the part where the metal was bent.
[04:40.85] And if you were there you would hear him say.
[04:49.80] I remember her and I remember him
[04:58.41] I remember them and I remember then..
[05:07.34] I'm just rememberin' I'm just rememberin'
[05:23.54]
