I See You - Kari Bremnes

I see you, your are wearing that old parka

And me, that faded jacket that I always used to wear

I can’t remember now who took the picture

Or when it was I don’t recall, do you remember where?

We seem so very young I have to look again

Right now I don’t remember that I ever was that young

You hold your head the way that only you can do

And this is long before I slipped away from you

I see your face half-in, half-out of shadow

You didn’t like the sun, you said, I liked the things you said

The look between us says we have forever

Forever isn’t anymore, just everyday instead

As I took down your book this picture came to light

The one by Stanislavskij, now, do you remember that?

I still talk as if you’re hearing what I say

Though it’s so long ago I let you slip away
