lyrics

If I Could Not Recall – Mark Bishop Evans

Verse 1
If I could not recall the moon that spied on love warm nights in June
Or remember lovely visions fair of Summer sun on golden hair
Or by some wild mis-stroke of luck should I forget the tender touch
Then how can I face each new dawn and find the will to carry on
Why should I exist at all and long for things… I could not recall

Verse 2
If I could not recall blue eyes or picture still the starry skies
Bring to mind the joy of love, way too much, or not enough
If those precious memories fade or I misplace the feelings made
Then where’s the reason left for life, why endure the pain and strife
How long life if I spent it all longing for things… I could not recall

Chorus
If I could not recall, the reasons for it all, why should I exist… for only this?

Verse 3
If I could not recall the pain the same mistakes I’d make again
Same old questions never asked, futures lost to forgotten pasts
If I could not recall my years, all the sperate joys and tears
Then what is there within this shell with no old scars or tales to tell
Who am I then after all, who would know… if I could not recall

Chorus
If I could not recall, the reasons for it all, why should I exist… for only this?
