[Verse 1]
I remember a faraway laugh
A sweet caress
You'd help me zip up my dress
I remember your arms around my neck

All I ever saw was the red in your eyes
No big surprise
Happened nearly every night

And how calm you had remained your child
Stillborn with no name
I remember the never ending summer rain
Ooh
Please don't let what was
Get in the way of what's next
Don't forget that what's to come hasn't come yet
