Remember to Dance

Remember that swing set in Riverside Park

Remember the cold wind that blew after dark

Remember the day I bought my first guitar

Counting coins on the counter

It sure took me far

Remember the paper crown I always keep

Remember the song that Mama would sing

When the world was so big and I was so small

But Mama, she said, I could conquer it all

Remember the moments you don't wanna miss

Like holding hands, your very first kiss

Like your first broken heart

At least you took the chance

When life gets you down, remember to dance

Remember the nights alone in your room

The taste of cheap whiskey, too many Blue Moons

Drowning yourself 'til you forget her name

Sometimes you'd rather sink than deal with the pain

Remember you woke, thinking when will this end

It sure hurts like hell when you lose your best friend

Broken hearts heal

At least you took the chance

When life gets you down, remember to dance

Oh remember to laugh and remember to cry

Remember farewell isn't really goodbye

Remember to breathe, to get all you can

When life gets you down, remember to dance

Oh when life gets you down, remember to dance
