MEMORIES

MEMORIES

Sometimes when the moon is full
And I can't get to sleep
I lay awake just counting
Memories instead of sheep;
I remember how you laughed
And how you liked to tease
God help me but I remember
How you loved to please.

I sit there by the window
And wonder how you are
And if perhaps you're looking
At the same falling star;
And I wonder if you're happy
If she's everything I'm not
And then I count the memories
The ones that you've forgot.

Like when we got lost in Texas
And the time we saw that bear
You almost drove off the road
I died laughing, dear;
Remember we slept in the car
When our waterbed froze?
And then there were the times
We ate without our clothes!

Memories are all that's left
Now she has you in bed
And I go to sleep praying
That I'll just wake up dead;
I remember you always said
I was your 'special girl'
Well, I guess you've forgotton
That you were my whole world.
