How To Remember You

Christmas Day '88 on a Maxell VHS

I pop it in, let it spin

And like a freight train it hits

There's so much of you I forget

I could've swore you had some more auburn in your hair

You ain't as tall as I recall or near as young man I swear

The man I knew ain't the one who

I'm seeing standing there

It used to be I could see your face

Anytime that I close my eyes

Hear your voice through the noise

Still feel your hand holding mine

I never thought when I lost you there'd be

Any more of you left to lose

But your memory's almost faded now

And I'm forgetting how to remember you

I got some shirts and hats of yours

Hanging in my closet

One or two still smell like you

But your Brut is fading off them

Day by day, piece by piece

Parts of you keep leaving me

It used to be I could see your face

Anytime that I close my eyes

Hear your voice through the noise

Still feel your hand holding mine

I never thought when I lost you there'd be

Any more of you left to lose

But your memory's almost faded now

And I'm forgetting how to remember you

When the day comes and I see you on the other side

Are you someone that I'm even gonna recognize

It used to be I could see your face

Anytime that I close my eyes

Hear your voice through the noise

Still feel your hand holding mine

I never thought when I lost you there'd be

Any more of you left to lose

But your memory's almost faded now

And I'm forgetting how

Dad your memory's almost faded now

And I'm forgetting how to remember you
