I Remember Beautiful

I remember beautiful and the way she felt  
Her fast escape routes, her youthful mess 
The summer winks that meant nothing at all 
and the cigarette fingers of kin 's brawl  
Mothers far away scent, her no recall 
the holler of passers by and the years 
when a love first burned with morning tears  

I remember beautiful oh how I remember 
the suitors that tried the ones I despised 
The plastic covered couch my shaming slouch
Her velvet coats and her fur hats.... 
I played every dime on the jukebox of life 
and watched the brook long after his deep freeze  
I recall, that long ago summer  
The empty bed, the hours of grief 
and that banging in my head (pause) lead?
I remember beautiful and the day he said to me 
"Sis, lets go this way " 

His smile was so big it broke the sun
after he died, nothing was ever the same again.
