I Remember You

There you stand across the room
The space of a lifetime there between us
And I recall

You haven't changed, you look the same
And that small fact makes it seem so long ago
And I remember you

You had to ask me how I've been
Don't my eyes tell you how I really feel
The day I lost you

By the way, you left some things
And they stand exactly, exactly where you left them
And I remember you

So I walk again this thin red line
Of what remains unchanged
Only my heart will know the pain
Only my heart will know the pain
And I remember you

Oh, another day, another life
And slowly the hands of time will run across my weary face
And I remember

The way you laughed, the day you left
"It's better this way", you said
Holding your evening dress
And I remember you
