I REMEMBER

Alternative version

Well I remember the first time I saw you
Because I thought to myself
I said ooh, there's one woman that sure looks good, yes she does
And I prayed to the Lord each night, I said Oh Lord, if there's a Lord
I told him I had to have you
Because I thought that you would love me like I would want my baby to
Yes, yes and I remember the first time I saw you, sure was true, yes it was

Cause I gotta have your lovin', yes I, yes I
I gotta have your lovin', oh come on to me now, I gotta have your lovin'
Yes I do, oh yes I do, babe

Well I remember the first time I touched you
I swear the stars fell from the sky
And glowed down on the earth like a thousand fireflies
And I thought to myself, I swear this is one time, yes I knew it
I said maybe baby if we tried, perhaps we could get through it
Yes I knew, I knew we could get out and do it
Without, without later wonderin' which one of us blew it
Yes and I, well I remember the first time I touched you, oh you were so true

And I gotta have your lovin', yes I, yes I
I gotta have your lovin', oh baby child
I gotta have your' lovin, yes I sure do babe
Ah even the Lord knows I do

Well I remember the first time you love me
Sure you was a young girl just fresh from schoolin'
But how on earth did you expect me to know that you was only foolin'
Ob baby you were just, you was only a lonely teenager
And I was on the hunt, and I tried to cage her
Soon as I found ya babe on the corral, you tried to get down
Oh and I wanted to surround you
But you went away from me, yes she did, oh you went away for one year
And I hadn't seen that woman so long, when
And hey, yes, I had not seen that woman so long
And one day I saw her walkin' down on the other side of the street
I said, Hey baby, there goes my baby, yes she did
And I said, and I said, I said Hey baby, what's goin' on
Won't you come back to me
And she said "uh-yh, uh-uh
I said, Hey baby

A Bruce Springsteen band song. This is an alternative version of I REMEMBER.

A Bruce Springsteen Band song, and a long one it is too. Some really great lyrics are let down by the interlude in the middle of the track that is preoccupied with the number of times a door is slammed. Drive all night just to buy you some shoes it isn't.
