She Remembers Love - Lila McCann

When her grandkids come to visit her

Sometimes she forgets their names

Her memory is selective now

Small details just fade away

She looks out the window with a vacant stare

She can’t remember what she’s doing there

But she remembers love

The blue in his eyes

Hot summer nights

It’s like she’s memorized his every touch

And how he swept her heart away

Like it was yesterday

She remembers love

On her dresser there’s a special box

Where she keeps a faded flower

From a wild field where they made love

And woke each other’s first desire

The passion never died for 60 years

And since she’s lost him

Some things haven’t been so clear

But she remembers love

The blue in his eyes

Hot summer nights

It’s like she’s memorized his every touch

And how he swept her heart away

Like it was yesterday

She remembers love

Now she comes and goes

And doesn’t always know

What day it is

What year it is

Or who somebody was

But she remembers love

The blue in his eyes

Hot summer nights

It’s like she’s memorized his every touch

And how he swept her heart away

Like it was yesterday

She remembers love

She remembers love
