I recall at the end of it all You were on your knees and I was standing tall But is my memory deceiving me? Was I hanging there while you prayed for me? Remember how when the show was done, We were dancing and singing and having some fun, Then I heard you speak, your voice was bleak--- "What we forget we must repeat." R-E-M-E-M-B-E-R, R-E-M-E-M-B-E-R I remember the tricks of the trade, Who got left behind and who made the grade, And I don't need the pages of some master plan To tell me what to do or tell me who I am But when all is said and all is done, Under the yellow glow of a setting sun, It really doesn't matter what you have done, You are blind and deaf and dumb R-E-M-E-M-B-E-R, R-E-M-E-M-B-E-R I remember an endless space And the tolling bells of some holy place Is it a dream that comes back to me Or a memory that I can barely see? Not the voices that haunt my mind Of the friends and lovers I have left behind. What I see, what comes back to me, Is a place I cannot find. R-E-M-E-M-B-E-R, R-E-M-E-M-B-E-R
