Remember When
Chris Kläfford Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
As you walk by
It's been a while
Since we got high
I know you've got a sensitive mind
Go slow
You've never been so wild
It ain't for lack of tryin'
You'll find yourself in time
I remember when
We'd tell each other lies worth believing
Take me to a place
Where hearts don't break
Where we don't feel so hollow
I remember when
You and I were not afraid of dreaming
Take me to a place
Where there's no mistakes
Dive into the waves of tomorrow
Watch the day
As we retire
Like Bonnie Raitt
Our love has power
Why can't I make you mine?
A new year
We can't stop how time flies
Three cheers
Singing out "Auld Lang Syne"
Laugh about the tears in our wine
And I remember when
We'd tell each other lies worth believing
Take me to a place
Where hearts don't break
Where we don't feel so hollow
I remember when
You and I were not afraid of dreaming
Take me to a place
Where there's no mistakes
Dive into the waves of tomorrow
I remember
All of these city lights
I grew up with someone you know
I remember
All those sleepless nights
Made me into someone you know
I remember when
We'd tell each other lies worth believing
Take me to a place
Where hearts don't break
Where we don't feel so hollow
I remember when
We'd tell each other lies worth believing
Take me to a place
Where hearts don't break
Where we don't feel so hollow
I remember when (when)
You and I were not afraid of dreaming
Take me to a place
Where there's no mistakes
Dive into the waves of tomorrow
I remember when
