I Remember a Man

I remember a man His skin was fair, with no blemish His words were sweet music to my ear By his side, I knew no fear My tender heart he would not tear With him, this road of love we would tarry Each day came and went like a fairy My mind was free of any worry Yes, today, I remember a man.

I remember this man He clothed me with robes of love His tender kisses relaxed my nerves His bare chest I would rest my head And have beautiful thoughts of life ahead To him, I belonged and he belonged to me A bright future with him I could see His deep eyes spoke the words he did not utter And my heart understood what he did not utter Yes, today, I remember a man

He was the man of my bosom Together we were meant to blossom But they said that we couldn't be They couldn't imagine how he and me Could defy the norms and come to be They tore us apart, said it could not last I came from the lake, him from the mountain Thoughts of marriage we could not entertain But today, I remember this man

Sometimes the heart yearns for what it cannot get Sometimes the heart gets what it does not yearn for Sometimes the sky is the limit Sometimes we ourselves are our limit But because the heart knows not how to forget, Sometimes we have to flash back and remember Indeed, I remember a man.
