I’ve got so many questions
And you used to have all the answers
But now everything seems so different and strange
I’m not sure if you still know me
I want to believe you still love me
But sometimes you can’t remember my name
Ain’t it funny how memory works
The clearest are the ones that hurt
You always loved the Yankees
But you weren’t much for the city
Except that time back in ‘76
Mom drove you up to Charlotte
You boarded that big plane without us
And mom cried so hard I thought she’d be sick
I said “Don’t worry, he’ll come back real soon”
That night I slept in your room
While mom kept one hand on the phone
Ain’t it funny how memory works
The clearest are the ones that hurt
When you want it to stay
It just fades away
Ain’t it funny how memory works
We’d talk about politics
If you only could
Or you’d tell me about peaches
Like you always would
But those days are gone
It feels like it’s gone for good
I’ve got so many questions
And you used to have all the answers
I want you to tell me the answers
I wish you could tell me the answers
I wish …
