Remind Me to Tell You Songtext

von Richard Carpenter

I can be distant like an echo in a canyon
I get resistant and i need your understanding
I don't know what happens i get removed
I don't mean to fade out but when i do

Remind me to tell you all the ways that i need you
Remind me to tell you if somehow i forget to
How much i've come to rely
On the strength that i find in your eyes
If you feel me starting to slide
Remind me to tell you

I can be vacant like a schoolyard in the winter
I get complacent my attention starts to splinter
Then from out of nowhere as i'm watching you sleep
I have so much to tell you i guess it'll keep

We built the mosaic one piece at a time
Midnight is lavender morning is lime
Major attention to minor detail
You take it too lightly it's certain to fail

My fundamentals are sadly in need
Instead of advancing i tend to recede
I'll try to change
But if i should start acting the same
