When You Could Still Remember
[Verse 1]
If I could go back in time
I'd rock a little longer on a back porch night
I'd ask you all about everything
The pictures on your wall and your wedding ring
[Chorus]
Sorry I ain't called, and that I ain't been back
I really wanna see you, but then leaving hurts too bad
Guess it makes me kind of angry, yeah it makes me kind of sad
That I didn't spend more time with you
Back when you could still remember who
I am
[Verse 2]
You used to burn your toast while you said your prayers
Yeah I can still see you sitting there
Now your hair's more white than it is grey
They got you all cooped up in this strange place
[Chorus]
Sorry I ain't called, and that I ain't been back
I really wanna see you, but then leaving hurts too bad
Guess it makes me kind of angry, yeah it makes me kind of sad
That I didn't spend more time with you
Back when you could still remember who
I am
[Bridge]
Green beans and mashed potatoes, staring out the window
I don't know where your mind has gone
You don't even recognize me
But I'm happy that you're smiling
I guess I'll take what I can get from now on
[Chorus]
Sorry I ain't called, and that I ain't been back
I really wanna see you, but then leaving hurts too bad
Guess it makes me kind of angry, yeah it makes me kind of sad
That I didn't spend more time with you
Back when you could still remember who
That I didn't spend more time with you
Back when you could still remember who
I am
[Spoken & Singing Outro with Grandmother?]
Steve: "How does it go again?"
Grandma: "Hmm?"
Steve: "How does it go again? (Singing) Then sings my soul... How's it go?"
Grandma: My Savior, come to Thee
Together: How great (Thou) You are, how great You are
Grandma: "Okay"
Together: Then sings my soul, my Savior God, to Thee
How great Thou are, how great (Thou) You are
Grandma: "Very good!" (laughing)
