Karen Savoca - That's How I Remember

that's how i remember

she picked a blossom
from the star magnolia tree
plucked it from a branch
and handed it to me
i walked out in the night
the air felt just like her

that's how i remember

she was a quiet girl
her secrets buried deep
inside a private world
she hides beneath her sleeves
you take her in your arms
her smile is soft as fur

that's how i remember

it's been three summers past
since last i saw her face
somebody told me
she'd gone without a trace
beyond the shattered night
beyond the angry word

that's how i remember

she picked a blossom
from the star magnolia tree
plucked it from a branch
and handed it to me
i walked out in the night
the air was soft like her

that's how i remember
