I REMEMBER EVERYTHING
(John E Prine / Pat Mclaughlin)


Alright
I've been down this road before
I remember every tree
Every single blade of grass
Holds a special place for me
And I remember every town
And every hotel room
And every song I ever sang
On a guitar out of tune

I remember everything
Things I can't forget
The way you turned and smiled on me
On the night that we first met
And I remember every night
Your ocean eyes of blue
How I miss you in the morning light
Like roses miss the dew

I've been down this road before
Alone as I can be
Careful not to let my past
Go sneaking up on me
Got no future in my happiness
Though regrets are very few
Sometimes a little tenderness
Was the best that I could do

I remember everything
Things I can't forget
Swimming pools of butterflies
That slipped right through the net
And I remember every night
Your ocean eyes of blue
How I miss you in the morning light
Like roses miss the dew

How I miss you in the morning light
Like roses miss the dew

Here's a link to just the song on YouTube: I Remember Everything

I'd heard it a while ago. I think maybe his wife posted a link to it somewhere. When I heard it at the convention, I watched it, thinking "Hell, yeah!" Thanks for remembering Prine, and some of the individual victims.

Last night I walked into the living room as the song was playing on the TV screen featuring the Democratic convention. I thought the singer sounded like John Prine, but I knew it couldn't be because I'd never heard the song before.

This morning Washington Post columnist Jennifer Rubin mentioned Prine and song with a URL that took me to YouTube. What a magnificent composition. Prine went out on a grace note. The song's use as tribute to the 170,000 American victims of coronavirus (one of them, of course, Prine himself) was profoundly moving.

They played this during a memorial section of the Democratic virtual convention last night.

The Twitter account for John Prine has
the last song that he recorded himself.

This was newsworthy enough to merit a feature article in
People magazine.
