I Remember / Take Me to the World (Live) - Liz Callaway

Composed by：Stephen Sondheim

I remember sky

It was blue as ink

Or at least I think

I remember sky

I remember snow

Soft as feathers

Sharp as thumbtacks

Coming down like lint

And it made you squint

When the wind would blow

And ice like vinyl on the streets

Cold as silver white as sheets

Rain like strings

And changing things

Like leaves

I remember leaves

Green as spearmint

Crisp as paper

I remember trees

Bare as coat racks

Spread like broken umbrellas

And parks and bridges

Ponds and zoos

Ruddy faces

Muddy shoes

Light and noise

And bees and boys

And days

I remember days

Or at least I try

But as years go by

They're a sort of haze

And the bluest ink

Isn't really sky

And at times I think

I would gladly die

For a day of sky

Let me see the world with clouds

Take me to the world out where I can push

Through crowds take me to the world

A world that smiles

With streets instead of aisles

Where I can walk for miles with you

Let me see the world that's real

Show me how it's done

Teach me how to laugh to feel

Move me to the sun

Just hold

My hand

Whenever we arrive

Take me to the world where I can be alive

I won't be afraid

With you we shall have the world

I'll hold your hand

And know you're not alone

You shall have the world to keep

Such a lovely world you'll weep

We shall have the world forever

For our own
