I STILL REMEMBER (DAVID, DAVID & BOB)

I STILL REMEMBER THE WAY THAT YOU WERE

BEFORE YOU GOT JADED AND HURT

I’D THINK ABOUT CALLING AND PICK UP THE PHONE

BEFORE IT COULD RING THERE YOU WERE

AND YOU LOVED MADONNA AND INTO THE GROOVE

BUT BOY YOU HAD NOTHING TO PROVE

AND DAVID WAS KRYSTAL, THEN KRYSTAL CARESS

BUT TO ME YOU ARE MOLE AND YOUTH

THAT WAS LONG AGO AND SO FAR AWAY

BUT I’LL ALWAYS REMEMBER THAT DAY

AND I HOPE I SEE DAVID AGAIN

DAVID THE SECOND WAS ALREADY ILL

WITH COCKTAILS OF CAPSULES AND PILLS

OXYGEN TANK IN YOUR BEDROOM KEPT CLOSE

YOUR LOFT MOSTLY QUIET AND STILL

N.Y.U. PROF YOU WERE SMARTER THAN MOST

YOU QUOTED OBSCURE BROADWAY SHOWS

THERE IN THE HOSPITAL I HELD YOUR HAND

AND YOU SAID THANK YOU FOR COMING THIS CLOSE

THAT WAS LONG AGO AND SO FAR AWAY

BUT I’LL ALWAYS REMEMBER THAT DAY

AND I HOPE I SEE DAVID AGAIN

I STILL REMEMBER WHEN I GOT THE CALL

THAT SAID BOB WAS SUDDENLY GONE

YOU DIDN’T TELL ANYONE, LEAST OF ALL ME

ALONE AT THE END, WERE YOU STRONG?

I GUESS YOU WERE CERTAIN, YOU THOUGHT YOU KNEW BEST

YOU THOUGHT YOU WERE SAVING US PAIN

IF I HAD THE CHANCE I’D HAVE SAID TO YOUR FACE

YOU WERE SELFISH AND FOOLISH AND WRONG

THAT WAS LONG AGO AND SO FAR AWAY

BUT I’LL ALWAYS REMEMBER THAT DAY

AND I CAN’T WAIT TO SEE BOB AGAIN

I STILL REMEMBER YOU, ALL OF MY FRIENDS
