I was standing at the counter   I was waiting for the change   When I heard that old familiar music start   It was like a lighted match   Had been tossed into my soul   It was like a damm had broken in my heart      After taking every detour   Getting lost and losing track   So that even if I wanted   I could not find my way back   After driving out the memory   Of the way things might have been   After I've forgotten all about us   The song remembers when      We were rolling through the Rockies   We were up above the clouds   When a station out of Jackson played that song   And it seemed to fit the moment   And the moment seemed to freeze   When we turned the music up and sang along      And there was a God in Heaven   And the world made perfect sense   We were young and were in love   And we were easy to convince   We were headed straight for Eden   It was just around the bend   And though I have forgotten all about it   The song remembers when      I guess something must have happened   And we must have said goodbye   And my heart must have been broken   Though I can't recall just why   The song remembers when      Well, for all the miles between us   And for all the time that's passed   You would think I haven't gotten very far   And I hope my hasty heart   Will forgive me just this once   If I stop to wonder how on Earth you are      But that's just a lot of water   Underneath a bridge I burned   And there's no use in backtracking   Around corners I have turned   Still I guess some things we bury   Are just bound to rise again   For even if the whole world has forgotten   The song remembers when   Even if the whole world has forgotten   The song remembers when
