VERSE 1
I spent the morning, Sifting through photos
Printed on paper, great big books called albums
I don’t remember, Joy, Jill & Julie
Track team and pep band, Yeah, tie-dyed camp counselors
VERSE 2
Next came the address book, 2,000 entries
19 named david, Slash and burn these strangers
There’s Auntie Barbara, And Grandma Sophy
They’re gone 2 year now, Did I delete memories?
CHORUS
I can’t remember your name; should I still save you a place?
When I remember your name could I still place your face?
There will come a time in your life when you will forget my name
How can I regret no paradise that came into frame?
VERSE 3
I dreamed this morning, We laid together
A bed a breakfast, Tourist town adventures
It was your first time, A big decision
But then you offered me, The top or bottom
CHORUS
CODA
I’m sure they’re fine on their own…
We never talked on the phone…
Grandpa’s no longer alone…
My torch’s flame has gone cold…
