Emily remembers

the dances at her high school

when she was young and carefree

some forty years ago

Emily remembers

standing on the bleachers

cheering for the home team

her hair all wet with snow

If she forgets today's her birthday

if it's tuesday, she's not sure

if she forgets to comb her hair now

I remember it for her...

Emily remembers

her weekends in the country

her walks down by the river

on sunday afternoons

emily remembers

her holiday in paris

those evenings at the ballet

beneath an august moon

if she forgets that I'm her best friend

and how inseparable we were

if she forgets how much she needs me

I remember it for her

if she forgets how much she loves me

I remember it for her
