The Song Remembers When

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 dam 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'd 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 had 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
 But the song remembers when
 ♪
 Well, for all the miles between us
 And for all the time that's past
 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 the 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
 For even if the whole world has forgotten
 The song remembers when
