I remember your heart quivering
With the sunsets and the moonlight
And your soul breathing the tenderness
That fell like fragrance from starry skies...
I remember the green horizons:
The gentle stretch of mountains
The flowers, the wind, the cane-fields
The echo of a love song we used to sing...
I remember I tried to say
That I loved you in so many ways
But my favourite means was with a poem
I'd write alone in the stillness of my room...
I remember my foolish fears
Of someone touching your heart
And how that jealous feeling gnawed
And ached inside and robbed me of sleep...
I remember some beautiful times
Especially the fun of Saturday nights
When sometimes I could hold your hand
And wished the game would never ever end...
I remember we thought of a dream
I remember we wanted to be one
I remember we hiked a rocky stream
I remember we risked a kiss in the dark...
I remember school ending and leaving
I remember writing letters sometimes
I remember returning, the short phone call-
Saying good-bye, and crying alone in the night...
Your memories live in my heart
Like flowers that time withers not
And they shine in the sky of my soul
Like smiling twinkling stars that never fade...
