When her grandkids come to visit her Sometimes she forgets their names Her memory is selective now Small details just fade away She looks out the window with a vacant stare She can't remember what she's doing there But she remembers love The blue in his eyes Hot summer nights It's like she's memorized his every touch And how he swept her heart away Like it was yesterday She remembers love On her dresser there's a special box Where she keeps a faded flower From a wild field where they made love And woke each other's first desire The passion never died for 60 years And since she's lost him Some things haven't been so clear But she remembers love The blue in his eyes Hot summer nights It's like she's memorized his every touch And how he swept her heart away Like it was yesterday She remembers love Now she comes and goes And doesn't always know What day it is What year it is Or who somebody was But she remembers love The blue in his eyes Hot summer nights It's like she's memorized his every touch And how he swept her heart away Like it was yesterday She remembers love She remembers love
