I wish I could remember,
What you said to me, 
Though I have forgotten, 
I still am not free.

I wish I could remember, 
Your eyes that Spring, 
They must have been bright,
Giving joy enough to sing. 

I wish I could remember, 
What games we used to play, 
Now I cannot ask you, 
My mind wanders astray. 

I wish I couldn't remember, 
The day that your eyes closed, 
Their brightness gone forever, 
But time can't be opposed. 

The bang, the crash, the shout and the scream, 
I remember it all so clearly. 
And yet I can't remember a single day of when I loved you dearly.
