I Remember You

(I remember you
You're the one who made my dreams come true...)

You were everything I wish I could be
Now that I am grown
You were everything I wish I could be
Now that I am grown

(I remember) feeling limitless, barefoot on the green carpet
(I remember) that boombox was my best friend
(I remember) music pulsing through my chicken legs
I wanna know, I wanna know
Where did you go, where did you go?

You were everything I wish I could be
Now that I am grown
You were everything I wish I could be
Now that I am grown
You were young and bright and carefree
Found your way on your own
When did I let you slip away?
Away, away, away

(I remember) pacing around the old swimming pool
Gave no fucks if you didn't think I was cool
Practicing lines and the timing while other kids ran around doin what most kids do
Hours of work a day
And then I would kneel by my bed and pray
Endless streams of crazy dreams that kept my mind racing

At night (stars that fell)
Those sleepless nights
Streetlamp light (stars that fell)
Through the window streetlamp light

You were everything I wish I could be
Now that I am grown
You were everything I wish I could be
Now that I am grown
You were young and bright and carefree
Found your way on your own
When did I let you slip away?
Away, away, away

(When my life is through
And the angels ask me to recall
The thrill of them all
Then I shall tell them I remember...)
