Running To Persia - Amsterdam lyrics

rate me

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
