[00:00.00]I Remember - John Pizzarelli
[00:32.71]I remember sky
[00:37.10]
[00:40.97]It was blue as ink
[00:43.37]
[00:46.21]Or at least I think
[00:49.06]I remember sky
[00:54.35]
[00:57.19]I remember snow
[01:00.59]
[01:02.83]Soft as feathers
[01:04.97]Sharp as thumb tacks
[01:06.91]
[01:07.89]Coming down like lint
[01:11.44]
[01:13.24]And it made you squint
[01:15.98]When the wind would blow
[01:20.76]
[01:23.16]And ice like vinyl
[01:25.72]
[01:26.29]On the streets
[01:27.63]
[01:28.82]Cold as silver
[01:31.35]White as sheets
[01:32.80]
[01:33.74]Rain like strings
[01:35.73]And changing things
[01:38.18]Like leaves
[01:41.91]
[01:44.45]I remember leaves
[01:49.76]Green as spearmint
[01:51.43]
[01:52.04]Crisp as paper
[01:54.40]
[01:54.93]I remember trees
[01:58.24]
[02:00.06]Bare as coat racks
[02:02.21]Spread like broken umbrellas
[02:07.72]
[02:09.22]And parks and bridges
[02:12.21]Ponds and zoos
[02:14.05]
[02:14.86]Ruddy faces
[02:17.09]Muddy shoes
[02:19.00]Light and noise and bees and boys
[02:23.79]
[02:24.61]And days
[02:28.19]
[02:31.10]I remember days
[02:35.68]
[02:36.84]Or at least I try
[02:40.17]
[02:42.08]But as years go by
[02:45.11]They're sort of haze
[02:49.66]
[02:50.58]And the bluest ink
[02:53.35]
[02:55.95]Isn't really sky
[02:59.28]
[03:01.29]And at times I think
[03:04.32]I would gladly die
[03:08.83]
[03:09.91]For a day of sky
