I Remember Lyrics - The Essential Stephen Sondheim - Stephen Sondheim

I remember sky 

It was blue as ink 

Or at least I think 

I remember sky. 

I remember snow 

Soft as feathers 

Sharp as thumb tacks 

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 days. 

I remember days, 

Or at least I try. 

But as years go by 

They're 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.
