"Just follow the seasons and find the time, reach for the bright side"

Strings That Tie To You - Jon Brion

Come home to me

When you smell the fresh cut grass, remember me
When the raindrops touch your skin, remember me
When the taste of chocolate and candy dies off in your mouth, remember me
When a song makes you stop and smile, remember me

Spring comes with Daffodils
Then remember me
Remember me

When you count numbers and change shirts of colors, remember me
When words form stories in books, remember me
When laughter’s no longer an effort, remember me
When you stand on sidewalks, remember me

Summer comes with hello and goodbyes
Then remember me
Remember me

When time stood still because of the silence, remember me
When doubts are definite, remember me
When a reason seems meaningless, remember me
When forever is not a promise, remember me

And wherever you stand
When you feel the wind blows through your face,
You know I will always remember you.
Then remember me
Remember me.

It is a long way; it is a long time,
But I learn this from you,
The only distant that matters is the memory
The only time that matters is the present.

So when you see everything and everyone else,
Feel every emotion,
Learn another thing or two about life,
Remember me remembering you.

And when you realize there is no other way but here,
Come home to me.
