I Remember
When I am saddened, and my hope is swayed
When reason wanes, and I'm afraid
When evil flows like melted ice cream
And Valhalla is as far as a dream
I think of your smile, and I remember.
I remember the happiness, and the joys of the world
How the colours, music, and magic twirled
Into an omnipotent shadow of joy
And paradise is ready to deploy
I hear your laughter, and I remember.
I remember the sadness and the joys of love
I remember the haunted cry of a mourning dove
I remember the crisp cool air in the spring
The sharp chill air that compels the birds to sing.
And then... I see the light.
So when I hear the devil's serenade
And trust in the world is beginning to fade
When despair and loss is at the extreme
And the heavenly light is but a beam
I think of you... and I remember.
