I'm taking a walk down memory lane,
but only if you'll walk it with me too
I need to get away from here,
and chase a feeling I forgot I knew,
you were there.

The rustling of the dancing leaves
reminds me of the
words you breathed,
the most bittersweet of memories,
remember?

But if you choose to forget,
I'll not watch you turn your head
that way I won't see
your cheeks are wet,
no I won't linger.

But the sun burned in my mind
the smile I haven't chanced to find
since you left it all behind,
I can still picture

We'll trace the footsteps that you left,
and if you choose to forget
I'll pretend that you were never here.

But there's a footprint on my heart,
in its faded former glory,
and in its foolish way,
its telling me the story
I once knew

The path winds to the place
where your footsteps cease to tread,
and my heart still stops to see it
and for wishing you had said
that you'd be leaving.
I remember.

I knew you wouldn't walk with me,
retrace a past, so beaten and well-worn,
memory lane never looked so forlorn
no, not without you.
I still remember.
