-- Do You Remember --

by John Herlihy

Do you remember

That night up on the hill

Oh, how I clearly remember

We two, under the stars, totally still

Don’t you remember

Those feelings we felt as one

Oh, how can’t you remember

Together in the light of the sun

I still remember

Sheltered against the driving rain

Do you still remember

The mystery of life made plain

What I never remember

What we decided to forget

May you never remember

You once feared having regret

I will always remember

The gift the bud gives the flower

Will you always remember

Our love had special power

How do I remember

I breathe in your smell

How do you remember

My poems of our love tell

I will never forget

To have loved and was loved in return

May you never forget

How our two hearts as one did yearn
