Galen's Songs: More of Galen's lyrics

I remember when I first met Rachel. I was sitting in a stairwell playing my guitar. There's something really neat about the acoustics of these echo chambers. Anyway, she heard me and came in and introduced herself. She mentioned that she had heard a song by Dave Wilcox about singing in stairwells. I was surprised and pleased that she knew who Dave Wilcox was. Music is a wonderful common ground.

Over the next few years, we not only shared some music, but she also convinced me to take dance lessons! Hmmm.... but I said okay. It was terrific. A million years from now, we may forget a lot of things, but I think the music will always connect us.

Rachel (1998)

We both know that we won't meet again
Even though we promise and pretend
There'll be oceans in between us
but you'll always be my friend
If all we have are memories
then please remember when

(refrain)
We danced the night away
You swept me off my feet
I caught your soft bouquet
the fragrance was much sweeter than
this crazy naive notion
that it would never end
...remember when

Time can fade memories of the past
But friends like us, we were meant to last
And though we won't remember
the words we said today
the rhythym of our friendship
will not let our memory stray

(Refrain)
We danced the night away
You swept me off my feet
I caught your soft bouquet
the fragrance was much sweeter than
this crazy naive notion
that it would never end
...remember when

(bridge)
Years from now we'll wonder
Just how it used to be
but the music will remind us
Rachel...you and me

(Repeat Refrain: fade)
