Remember that swing set in Riverside Park
Remember the cold wind that blew after dark
Remember the day I bought my first guitar
Counting coins on the counter
It sure took me far

Remember the paper crown I always keep
Remember the song that Mama would sing
When the world was so big and I was so small
But Mama, she said, I could conquer it all

Remember the moments you don't wanna miss
Like holding hands, your very first kiss
Like your first broken heart
At least you took the chance
When life gets you down, remember to dance

Remember the nights alone in your room
The taste of cheap whiskey, too many Blue Moons
Drowning yourself 'til you forget her name
Sometimes you'd rather sink than deal with the pain

Remember you woke, thinking when will this end
It sure hurts like hell when you lose your best friend
Broken hearts heal
At least you took the chance
When life gets you down, remember to dance
Oh remember to laugh and remember to cry
Remember farewell isn't really goodbye
Remember to breathe, to get all you can
When life gets you down, remember to dance
Oh when life gets you down, remember to dance
