A Night To Remember

I turn off the lights and lock the door
Spread the pictures of you across the floor
Remembering all that we had
Everything came flooding right back

The time you held me when I was upset
All the memories with you is something I won't regret
Leaving doesn't hurt as much as
being left behind
I can't love anyone because you always come to mind

You whisper to me in my sleep
Remind me of the secrets we'll always keep
No matter how close we were
You're forgetting me slowly as you hold her

You're the one I knew I'd remember
I look at the pictures and have myself a night to surrender
A night to forget the closeness of our skin
A night to remember what we had been

I smile as I see you kissing me in the rain
Reminiscing the love and the spellbinding pain
The night you showed me what love really is
This can't be, not this can't be all there is

I slowly pack up the last of it all and see that I've left one on the floor
It's the one I've forgotten about and it makes me cry even more
It's a picture of you kissing me in the football stands
Holding me tight with those big strong hands

It felt so right being with you all that night
The thing that I can't stand is knowing that I won't be alright
The same night you showed me how to surrender
Open myself to you, I can't believe how much I remember

I remember every little detail in that small place
For life I only want to see your face
I look down in the crib and see the baby we made
Every time I look at her I see a resemblance of your face

The past is drowned into this little box of time
Where I was yours and you were mine
It felt so good to finally know and remember
That I had myself a night to forget and surrender
