TIME REMEMBERED
BILL EVANS
Remember spring as you walk past a frozen lake in winter.
Listen, the music calls you.
Let it take you away to glist'ning shores where dolphins play,
Back to your quiet mind where colors change in time.
Remembered lines
Lead to the love inside remembered time.
You feel the time inside you.
You're looking down at your hands and the room fills up with angels.
Take them, show them the way
The magnificent skies and em'rald hills where giants play.
And though they're going to cheer,
They really want to hear
Those quiet lines
That lead them back inside remembered time.
Remember spring as you sleep through the iron days of winter.
How then could we repay you?
In your moment on earth, you taught us to believe in spring.
And when your heart went still,
What did you find there, Bill?
Play just one line.
Show us what lies beyond remembered time.
