When You Could Still Remember

(album: Blue Jeans - 2020)

If I could go back in time
I'd rock a little longer on a back-porch night
I'd ask you all about everything
The pictures on your wall and your wedding ring

Sorry I ain't called, that I ain't been back
I really wanna see you, but then leaving hurts too bad
Guess it makes me kinda angry, and it makes me kinda sad
That I didn't spend more time with you
Back when you could still remember who I am

Oh-whoa-oh

You used to burn your toast while you said your prayers
Yeah, I can still see you sitting there
Now your hair's more white than it is grey
They got you all cooped up in this strange place

Sorry I ain't called, that I ain't been back
I really wanna see you, but then leaving hurts too bad
Guess it makes me kinda angry, and it makes me kinda sad
That I didn't spend more time with you
Back when you could still remember who I am

Green beans and mashed potatoes
Staring out the window
I don't know where your mind has gone
You don't even recognize me
But I'm happy that you're smiling
I guess I'll take what I can get from now on

Sorry I ain't called, that I ain't been back
I really wanna see you but, but then leaving hurts too bad
Guess it makes me kinda angry, and it makes me kinda sad
That I didn't spend more time with you
Back when you could still remember who
That I didn't spend more time with you
Back when you could still remember who I am

How does it go again? Then sings my soul... How's it go?
[Grandma:]
My Savior, come to Thee
[Together:]
How great Thou art, how great Thou art
[Grandma:]
Okay
[Together:]
Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to Thee
How great Thou art, how great Thou art
[Grandma:]
Very good! [laughing]
