Favorite lyrics?
My favorite lyrics change as often as I change my underwear. Reconnecting with an old friend has brought a lot of long-forgotten memories to the surface and something that I heard recently that has a current special meaning to me is an old song by Skid Row:

I Remember You

Woke up to the sound of pouring rain
The wind would whisper and I’d think of you
And all the tears you cried, that called my name
And when you needed me I came through

Remember yesterday - walking hand in hand
Love letters in the sand - I remember you
Through the sleepless nights and every endless day
I’d wanna hear you say - I remember you
