I Remember Lyrics - Barbra Streisand

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 coatracks, 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!
