I remember like it was yesterday
_____
The day we met
_____
And when I confessed to your mom
_____
That you were the one I'd been waiting for
_____
I remember my first protest
_____
Throwing eggs at their windows
_____
I almost got punched in the face
_____
When I ran my mouth a little too much
_____
I clearly remember my first beer
_____
But not the ones that followed
_____
The first time you smiled at me
_____
I remember it like it was yesterday
_____
I remember like it was yesterday
_____
Playing cowboy on my chair
_____
Hitting my backhands with two hands
_____
Crying over the two New York towers
_____
I remember a math problem
_____
And I remember a little box
_____
Where I piled up all my memories
_____
I remember my grandma's voice
_____
The jars of jam on the table
_____
Monopoly or Scrabble
_____
I remember it like it was yesterday
_____
I remember like it was yesterday
Having Paris at my window
_____
For a Creuse native, that's clear
_____
That it's like switching planets
_____
I remember a medium-scale guitar
_____
And the cross-outs in a notebook
_____
But let's say my first song
_____
I'm still trying to forget it
_____
I remember like it was yesterday
_____
Days of deep anger
_____
When a factory doesn't make it through the winter
_____
And some scumbag runs the world
_____
I remember and I'll remember
_____
When he asks what it was like
_____
Adjusting his backpack
_____
I'll remember too, of course
_____
That that phone call changed everything
_____
And Alzheimer's can try to hang on
