303.4. I’M REMEMBERING

‍

I’m remembering Sand Castle Bay

The sandiest beach the sunniest day

Spent with a girl who knew how to play

Spent with a girl who had something to say

‍

Something to say she was bright-eyed quick

Something to say play she was smooth and slick

‍

I’m remembering grandma’s backyard

Fifteenth and commercial dropping my guard

Spent with a girl and her gentlest touch

Spent with a girl that I loved very much

‍

I loved her so much that it made me cry

But I loved her so much that I didn’t care why

‍

I’m remembering telephone calls

The sensitive voice for which a man falls

Spoke from the heart of the natural wild

Spoke from the heart of a vulnerable child

‍

A vulnerable child in the days of her youth

A vulnerable child in search of the truth

‍

I remember the black dress a sense of romance

The shock of perceiving your intimate glance

The glance of a woman no longer a child

The glance of a woman by nature well styled

‍

Well styled with a strong appetite for success

In search of a competent lover’s caress

‍

Through loving you I came to know myself so much better

Through loving you I touch something deep

Something much stronger than laws or their letter

Love is alive in the secret I keep
