I forget what happened on the Fourth of July
Or when the rent is due
Dates and deadlines just float by
But I'll always remember you

What Columbus set out to discover
Isabel already knew
They'll be horizons and skylines and other lovers
But I'll always remember you

If I could rearrange history
And give it to you as a gift
I would put one more movement
In Beethoven's Fifth

Oh why, oh why in a land of plenty
Some just have to make due
At the end of a breadline with just a penny
I'll always remember you
