Lyrics
When I look back and remember our first blind date
Under the Gazebo I kissed for the first time, praying for no morning light
Now that I'm an old, old man try hard to remember that moonlit grace
But all I see in the mirror staring back, is an old, withered face
And I Recall
I Recall
Recall
Recall
Recall
You
And I Recall
I Recall
Recall
Recall
Recall
You
Now I remember vividly when I was a youngster, I could always toe the line
When I was a vibrant teenager I could race against the wind
When we finally got married, I thought I'd never forget that wedded bliss
But now that I'm an old, old man I can't remember any of this
And I Recall
I Recall
Recall
Recall
Recall You
And I Recall
I Recall
Recall
Recall
Recall
You
But my love for you will always last
Alzheimer's can't utterly rob me of our beautiful, loving past
And I Recall
I Recall
Recall
Recall
Recall
You
And I Recall
I Recall
Recall

Recall
You
I Recall
