Lyrics

The snow was falling,
And we both went outside to see baby birds in their mother's nest...
With our bare feet making footprints in the snow,
It became clear there were no birds at all...

Then we joined hands and drank sparkling wine,
Watched candles flicker until we went back inside…

Oh, and if you're feeling blue,
Then just close your eyes and let your memory serve you…
Oh, and if that just won't do,
Then just close your eyes, remember I'll be home soon…
It's just love serving love,
Me and you...

We went away to school,
You went your way, I went my way...
Separated by seven hours of the U.S. highway,
But we still remember Central High School and country fairgrounds...
And that white truck,
It smelled like hell but we drove it around...

Or when we went camping in the backyard,
Just lying there looking up at the stars...
Talking about nothing as time flew by,
Watched the stars flicker until we went back inside...

Oh, and if you're feeling blue,
Then just close your eyes and let your memory serve you…
Oh, and if that just won't do,
Then just close your eyes, remember I'll be home soon…
It's just love serving love,
Me and you...

We visit family up in Au Gres,
We went to prom and danced the night away...
We buried the dog when it was time to say goodbye,
Stood there together until we went back inside...

Oh, and if you're feeling blue,
Then just close your eyes and let your memory serve you…
Oh, and if that just won't do,
Then just close your eyes, remember I'll be home soon…
It's just love serving love,
Me and you...
