[Barbra Streisand - I Remember Barbra #1 lyrics]
I awake on a chilly Christmas morning
Watching choirs singing carols on TV
I gaze out through my window
At a dozen other windows
Then I plug in my artificial tree
And like a dream I begin to remember
Every Christmas I used to know
A thousand miles away, a million years ago
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 daaaaays, oh!
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!
Watching choirs singing carols on TV
I gaze out through my window
At a dozen other windows
Then I plug in my artificial tree
And like a dream I begin to remember
Every Christmas I used to know
A thousand miles away, a million years ago
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 daaaaays, oh!
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!
