Lyrics
She Remembers (Tim Grimm)
she sits there with her hair done, her summer dress is worn
the wind whispers through the cornfields of the day that's comin' on
she thinks about her husband, she thinks about their farm
how it seems like only yesterday, her dreams had just begun
(chorus)
she remembers all that went before
she remembers laughin', runnin' through the corn
she remembers every baby being born
and him holding her, late at night
dancin' cross the floor
she holds a box of treasures they found as years went by
rocks with holes and arrowheads, feathers fallen from the sky
a turtle shell, a robin's nest, wildflowers pressed and dried
a simple box of memories that keeps her high and dry
it's been three months and counting since her husband passed away
she thinks she hears him comin' back a little less each day
but she's got no self-pity, it just might be for the best
cause he'd been a long time standing when they laid him down to rest
(chorus)
she knows they'll soon be comin' with a truck to load her things
she sits there in the sunrise all alone on the porchswing
her children say it's better for her to move to town
they just might be right, but it breaks her heart to leave this old farmground
this old house has been a teacher, this old house has been a friend
it brought her here among us in the corner room upstairs
if living is a memory, then all is as it was
the end is the beginning, for this home, this farm, this love...
(chorus)
