That's The Way I Remember It

(album: Garth Brooks In.... The Life Of Chris Gaines - 1999)

It's only natural with time
Details can somehow slip your mind
Something so sweet, though incomplete
You fill the spaces in between

It never will be that way again
Maybe it wasn't, way back when
To my heart and soul
This is the way the story has to be told

That's the way, I remember it, I remember it that way
From the day, I was living there, I remember it that way

Some of our stories fade as we grow older
Some get sweeter every time they're told
That's the way, I'll remember you that way

Guess now, if the truth were known
Among diamonds they were stones
To say would be fair, girl
Nothing compares to when I called you all my own

So darling, don't ever you think twice
Those were the best days of my life
When I held you there and I'll tell this story
This way, time and again

That's the way, I remember it, I remember it that way
From the day, I was living there, I remember it that way

Some of our stories fade as we grow older
Some get sweeter every time they're told
That's the way, I'll remember you that way

Oh, that's the way, I remember it, I remember it that way
From the day, I was living there, I remember it that way

Some of our stories fade as we grow older
Some get sweeter every time they're told
That's the way, I'll remember you
That's the way, I'll remember you that way
