The Song Remembers When Lyrics

I WAS STANDING AT THE COUNTER I WAS WAITING FOR THE CHANGE
WHEN I HEARD THAT OLD FAMILIAR MUSIC START
IT WAS LIKE A LIGHTED MATCH HAD BEEN TOSSED INTO MY SOUL
IT WAS LIKE A DAM HAD BROKEN IN MY HEART
AFTER TAKING EVERY DETOUR GETTING LOST AND LOSING TRACK
SO THAT EVEN IF I WANTED I COULD NOT FIND MY WAY BACK
AFTER DRIVIN' OUT THE MEMORY OF THE WAY THINGS MIGHT HAVEBEEN
AFTER I'D FORGOTTEN ALL ABOUT US, THE SONG REMEMBERS WHEN

WE WERE ROLLIN' THROUGH THE ROCKIES
WE WERE UP ABOVE THE CLOUDS
WHEN A STATION OUT OF JACKSON PLAYED THAT SONG
AND IT SEEMED TO FIT THE MOMENT
AND THE MOMENT SEEMED TO FREEZE
WHEN WE TURNED THE MUSIC UP AND SANG ALONG
AND THERE WAS A GOD IN HEAVEN
AND THE WORLD MADE PERFECT SENSE
WE WERE YOUNG AND WERE IN LOVE AND WE WERE EASY TO CONVINCE
AND THOUGH I HAD FORGOTTEN ALL ABOUT IT
THE SONG REMEMBERS WHEN

I GUESS SOMETHING MUST HAVE HAPPENED
AND WE MUST HAVE SAID GOOD-BYE
AND MY HEART MUST HAVE BEEN BROKEN
BUT I DON'T REMEMBER WHY
THE SONG REMEMBERS WHEN

(3 mm break)

OH FOR ALL THE MILES BETWEEN US & FOR ALL THE TIME THAT'S PASSED
YOU WOULD THINK I HADN'T GOTTEN VERY FAR
AND I HOPE MY HASTY HEART WILL FORGIVE ME JUST THIS ONCE
IF I STOP TO WONDER HOW ON EARTH YOU ARE
BUT THAT'S JUST ALOT OF WATER UNDERNEATH A BRIDGE I'VE BURNED
& THERE'S NO USE IN BACKTRACKING AROUND CORNERS I HAVE TURNED
STILL I GUESS SOME THINGS WE BURY ARE JUST BOUND TO RISE AGAIN
FOR EVEN IF THE WHOLE WORLD HAS FORGOTTEN
THE SONG REMEMBERS WHEN

YEAH EVEN IF THE WHOLE WORLD HAS FORGOTTEN
THE SONG REMEMBERS WHEN
