Running To Persia - Amsterdam lyrics
She set for Amsterdam
On the next plane to see her mother
It’s not been going well
We can see that
We can see it bothers her
Her mother’s forgetting things
She’s beginning to forget her story
Time has been kind to her
But now we begin to worry
You need to remember this
You need to remember
You need to remember this
You need to remember
You need to remember this
It all comes down to love
Cause what more are memories
Than the feelings that they’re made of
Just facts and figures then
And who needs those
When all you need is love
But she is frightened still
It’s a hard time
It’s a hard time calling
And as her plane takes off
The hope that she built starts falling through
You need to remember this
You need to remember
You need to remember this
You need to remember
You need to remember this
There’s nothing vain in hope
Driving through Amsterdam
With her sisters, to see her mother
Home of her childhood
But it feels strange, and something bothers her
And it’s the hardest thing
She’s facing her mother aging
She’s holding on to things
Like a prayer, she just keeps saying
You need to remember this
You need to remember
You need to remember this
You need to remember
You need to remember this
You need to remember
You need to remember this
You need to remember
You need to remember this (Your baby boy)
You need to remember (Your husband laughing)
You need to remember this (That winter storm)
You need to remember (Your children dancing)
You need to remember this (Your daughter’s voice)
You need to remember (Towards heaven singing)
You need to remember this (The Christmas tree)
You need to remember (The Church bells ringing)
You need to remember this (We all in time)
You need to remember (Forget our story)
You need to remember this (Remember this)
You need to remember (If one thing only)
You wrote it well
You wrote it well
You wrote it well
You wrote it well
