Bernadette Peters — Evening Primrose Medley: I Remember

[ELLA] I remember sky It was blue as ink Or at least I think I remember sky I remember snow Soft as feathers Sharp as thumbtacks Coming down like lint And it made you squint When the wind would blow And ice, like vinyl, on the streets Cold as silver, white as sheets Rain, like strings And changing things Like leaves I remember leaves Green as spearmint Crisp as paper I remember trees Bare as coat racks Spread like broken umbrellas And parks and bridges Ponds and zoos Ruddy facеs Muddy shoes Light and noise And bees and boys And days I remеmber days Or at least I try But as years go by They're a sort of haze And the bluest ink Isn't really sky And at times I think I would gladly die
