Now I Must Remember

Do you ever think that
This is now I must remember?
You take in all around you
Colours, taste and smell
Before it fades like a dying ember

All day
Replay
The rush of life
Makes a memory distant

I had coffee with rum
Sang along to the drums
Of the crowd
As we cheered the dawning

And I want to save it
Somewhere safe
So I'll remember

Bring it out one day
When everything looks grey
To make me smile
When I'm feeling tender

And we climbed a hill top
Following a new friend
In the sun of the early morning

I remember long ago
Certain things were simple pleasures
