Remember

I was driving home from work and I heard the most wonderful song on the radio.  I thought it was Ringo Starr, but it didn’t sound quite like him and as it turns out, it wasn’t.  It was Harry Nilsson – someone I have never heard of (but have an embarrassing feeling was a fairly well-known performer). 

Nevertheless, the song was quite magical and it’s worth looking up if you have the time.  I think there were actually more lyrics than I have been able to find on the internet but since I don’t have the song memorized (yet) I’m not quite sure.  The song is called ‘Remember’….

Long ago, far away
Life was clear, close your eyes

Remember is a place from long ago
Remember filled with everything you know
Remember when you’re sad and feelin’ down
Remember turn around

Remember life is just a memory
Remember close your eyes and you can see
Remember think of all that life can be
Remember-

Dream, love is only in a dream, remember -
Remember life is never as it seems. Dream

Long ago, far away
Life was clear, close your eyes
