I remember when I first met Tommy I was 23
He used to date my ex-wife's sister she introduced him to me
I dressed up liek rock and roll then He was still in schoool
I guess I thought he was so smart and he thought I was cool
Well the years go by and where you are's
Not where you thought you'd be
And all thats left is remember when
Remember it with me
I remember when I firs tmet Richard I was 29
He used to be a baseball pitcher but he left all that behind
He reminded me what fun was like when all I knew was pain
He tried to keep me laughing as he tried to keep me sane
Well the years go by and where you are's
Not where you thought you'd be
And all thats left is remember when
Remember it with me
Staring at the ocean and you stand so close to me
The past times come in waves that break and drift back out to sea
When I fell in love with you it took me by surprise
I'd nearly drowned in memories till you brought me back to life
I remember when I was a boy and I could sing all day
My mother was a giant then the world so far away
I thought that I'd grow up to be a rich and famous man
And buy my mom a great big house and take care of her then
Well the years go by and where you are's
Not where you thought you'd be
And all thats left is remember when
Remember it with me
Remember it with me
