LYRICS
Do you remember?

Climbing on my shoulders
Riding on my back
Kissing by the boulders
Sitting on my lap

Hiking on the hill
We made a bet for fun
But, before you could fulfill
Your life’s undone

Looking down from heaven
Do you remember?
Do you remember… living in days like these

With God’s grace given
I do remember.
I do remember… the memories please

Hiking on the hill
We made a bet for fun
But, before you could fulfill
Your life’s undone

Here we are holding hands
Who would ever understand?
That you could fulfill
That someday you will fulfill
That this day you can still fulfill

ABOUT THE SONG
Chords — G Em
G Am D G

Written in Chester County, Pennsylvania and captured as a digital, stereo, extemporaneous recording. Demo MP3 is 1 track. Video is 6-tracks.

This song was inspired by one of my first girlfriends, Janet Welch of Clearfield, Pennsylvania. I sat down to write a song about Valentine’s Day and just started playing about love. This is what came out.

We were in high school… passing notes and falling in love. We made what I considered a great bet. She lost the bet; however, before she could fulfill her end of the bargain, she died in a car crash. Does a spirit live on?

LYRICS
Here I am
There you are
Aren’t we standing just a little too far
Apart
Let’s start
Getting Closer
Negate
Separate
Gaining closure

Here I can
You can, too
Shouldn’t we do all we can do?
Negate
Separate
Getting closer
Abate
Desperate
Heart tender

Tender-hearted
Let’s get started

LYRICS
What are you talking about?

What are you talking about?
I can see your lips move
But, I can’t understand
What you demand

Who made you king of the world

What are you talking about?

Have you gone mad
Trying to make people sad

It’s been way too long that you’ve been wrong
I didn’t mean to be the one to point it out
But, there’s only so much you can dish out
What are you talking about?

LYRICS
Do you remember
All those years ago
When you wondered
About the wonders
Of the world

Go swinging on the monkey bars
Dream up things and shoot for the stars
The days when we’d climb trees
Dream of days when we’d look back at these

Chorus

Go swimming on hot summer days
Play you guitar and try to amaze
Make paper airplanes fly with the breeze
Dream of days when we’d look back on these

LYRICS
1, 2, 3, 4
1, 2, 3, for what do we dance?
1, to what do we dance?

Bark it out
Don’t be afraid
Make a sound
Be found… out

Bark it out

Don’t be afraid
You are what you made
Now, make of it what you will
Shake it… better still

1, 2, 3, 4 what are we dancing for?

Dance a suspense dance (can’t wait to anticipate)
Dance a surveillance dance (see if there’s a scene gleam)
Dance an independence dance
Dance a reverence dance
Dance to thank God we’ve got a chance to dance!

1, 2, 3, for what? 1, 2, 3, 4 what do we dance for?
Dance for what
Jump about
Electrify I. Give Watt! (see your energy)
