Remember the Music

I don't recall where I left my keys
My hat I could swear it was here
I write myself notes
I find myself losing them
Clearly my memory's not clear
I tie a string around my finger
But I can't remember what for
Did I turn off the stove, or leave on the iron
Did I even lock the front door?

But there's always a thread
Of melody in my head
Oh with all the things I forget
I remember the music

I see it now, the band was playing
I held you close in my arms
We swayed into the night
Like we were the only ones
We were the brightest of stars
I couldn't tell you what you were wearing
The day, or the month, or the year
And we whispered words, sweet and endearing
But they've long gone from my ears

But there's always a thread
Of melody in my head
Oh with all the things I forget
I remember the music

When I hear that song
I start singing along
The love that we share
It ain't going nowhere,

'Cause there's always a thread
Of melody in my head
Oh with all the things I forget
I remember the music
I remember the music
I remember the music
