The Song Remembers When
I was standing at the counter
I was waiting for the change
Elizabeth walked inside Kelly's Diner to get some hot chocolate. She's been painting nonstop ever since Ric left Port Charles and had forgotten to eat. It was like she couldn't eat since he was gone but she had pushed him away, threatened divorced even."Hey Liz, what have you been up to lately?" Penny asked. "Nothing just been painting a lot." "Well, what can I get you?" "Hot chocolate to go,please." "Sure I'll bring it right out." She waited at the counter. "Here Liz." She handed Penny a twenty and waited for her change.
When I heard that old familiar music start
She rubbed her neck and tipped her head forward catching the beginning of an old familiar song
It was like a lighted match
Had been tossed into my soul
It was like a dam had broken in my heart
She was taken back to another time. A time when she was loved or at least thought she was. It was the straw that broke the camels back and she started crying uncontrollably. She ran out of Kelly's still hearing the song in her mind.
After taking every detour
Getting lost and losing track
So that even if I wanted
I could not find my way back
After driving out the memory
Of the way things might have been
After I'd forgotten all about us
The song remembers when
That's the reason she'd been painting to lose herself and forget. Even though she'd told herself to forget and she'd almost accomplished her goal one little song and she was back to missing Ric. She was back to loving him, thinking of what might have been if he hadn't kidnaped Carly, if they hadn't lost their baby, if if if....
We were rolling through the Rockies
We were up above the clouds
When a station out of Jackson played that song
And it seemed to fit the moment
And the moment seemed to freeze
When we turned the music up and sang along
She sat on the bench looking out over the water remembering when they went to Maine. They drove up the rocky hills hearing this song. He'd leaned over and kissed her making her feel like she was walking on a cloud. She thought he looked the same way. The song had begun playing and everything was perfect for a minute. He turned up the radio and they began to sing along.
And there was a God in Heaven
And the world made perfect sense
We were young and were in love
And we were easy to convince
We were headed straight for Eden
It was just around the bend
And though I have forgotten all about it
The song remembers when
She'd thought God was smiling down on them and the world made perfect sense. 'Look at those two young lovers.' She remembered an old woman say to her husband. Ric had told her that's how they'd be when they were old and gray. He took her to the Garden of Eden in Maine. It was so beautiful, she wanted to remember it so she could paint it later. She'd forgotten all about that trip, pushed it away.
I guess something must have happened
And we must have said goodbye
And my heart must have been broken
Though I can't recall just why
The song remembers when
Then he'd kidnaped Carly and she'd found her, had her stroke, and they parted ways. She couldn't quite remember when though. She knew her heart was so broken then.
Well, for all the miles between us
And for all the time that's passed
You would think I haven't gotten very far
And I hope my hasty heart
Will forgive me just this once
If I stop to wonder how on Earth you are
She didn't know where he was but it was probably miles from here and so much time had passed. Time they could never get back. He probably thought she hadn't been able to do something productive or get her life back on track. She hoped she could forgive herself for thinking greatly of him now. She wondered how he was and prayed he wasn't bleeding to death somewhere.
But that's just a lot of water
Underneath a bridge I burned
And there's no use in backtracking
Around corners I have turned
Still I guess some things we bury
Are just bound to rise again
For even if the whole world has forgotten
She took a drink of her chocolate. It had gone cold, but she didn't mind much though. She pushed him away again. That was just the water under a bridge she'd burned. There was no use going back in time now. She'd turned to many corners in her life to go back now. Still things you try to forget come back to haunt you sometimes and it was harder the second time around. Even when the whole world had forgotten Ric Lansing.
The song remembers when
Yeah, and even if the whole world has forgotten
The song remembers when
Elizabeth Webber with the help of their song would always remember everything. She looked up at the stairs and headed to the record store. She had a record to buy because even when the whole world had forgotten the song remembers when.
