I do

Sometimes it comes in flashes

The images in my mind

Serving as a reminder

Of that place and time

Little movie flickers

Always passing by

Never enough to gather

The what, where, when or why

So I focus on the future

Instead of my past

Because optimism is

The only thing meant to last

Do you remember

The dark that comes around

When the lights go out

And there’s no more sound?

I do, I do, I do, I do

I do, I do, I do, I do

I wrap myself in love

And sing with tears of bliss

Thankful that I keep ducking

Death’s dreadful kiss

Excuse me while I bow out

With him I dare not play

So I continue to kiss the sunlight

Of each extra day

Do you remember

The dark that comes around

When the lights go out

And there’s no more sound?

I do, I do, I do, I do

I do, I do, I do, I do

Given or taken

I didn’t make the request

My regards to my angels

I am truly blessed.

Do you remember

The dark that comes around

When the lights go out

And there’s no more sound?

I do, I do, I do, I do

I do, I do, I do, I do.
