I recall at the end of it all 

You were on your knees and I was standing tall 

But is my memory deceiving me? 

Was I hanging there while you prayed for me? 

Remember how when the show was done, 

We were dancing and singing and having some fun, 

Then I heard you speak, your voice was bleak--- 

"What we forget we must repeat." 



R-E-M-E-M-B-E-R, R-E-M-E-M-B-E-R 



I remember the tricks of the trade, 

Who got left behind and who made the grade, 

And I don't need the pages of some master plan 

To tell me what to do or tell me who I am 

But when all is said and all is done, 

Under the yellow glow of a setting sun, 

It really doesn't matter what you have done, 

You are blind and deaf and dumb 



R-E-M-E-M-B-E-R, R-E-M-E-M-B-E-R 



I remember an endless space 

And the tolling bells of some holy place 

Is it a dream that comes back to me 

Or a memory that I can barely see? 

Not the voices that haunt my mind 

Of the friends and lovers I have left behind. 



What I see, what comes back to me, 

Is a place I cannot find. 



R-E-M-E-M-B-E-R, R-E-M-E-M-B-E-R
