I Can Remember

(album: Raspberries - 1972)

I can remember Summer skies and your eyes
And in September, when I first realized
That I needed you to be
The other half of me
And my love long locked inside itself
Had finally been set free

I can remember Autumn skies and goodbyes
Hurting so badly that I thought I would die
But the more things seem to change
The more they stay the same
And the lonely ones get lonelier
With every passing day

From the day we met I knew that I should never let you
Get a hold on me 'cause now you see I can't forget you
Oh I, I can remember midsummer skies
Love in your eyes

In the Spring, the sun will shine and make the ice surrender
But it will not warm my heart as long as I remember
And I, I will remember midsummer skies
Love in your eyes
And I, I will remember the times I've cried
Since you say goodbye

I nearly died when you said
"I, I can't let you down anymore
So I guess this goodbye"
What, what did you do it for?
Everytime I think of you and him together
I break down and cry

Oh I, I can remember the tears I've cried
Since you say goodbye

I can remember

Oh I, I can remember midsummer skies
Love in your eyes
And I, I can remember the times I've cried
Since you said goodbye
