Remember:

Do you remember    
When you called me your sunshine    
I was the light haired child    
Always smiling and making you smile    
Wandering and ever curious    
Through grandpa's orchard and even down the road    
     
Do you remember    
Your concern that autumn day    
When I fell asleep in the barn doorway    
The packing cloths had been pulled out    
From around the well pump for repairs    
I woke up from you calling me and ran to you, sleepy    
     
Do you remember      
The time you told me you were sorry    
That you realized I needed you    
I had to replace my parents with my brother    
He hadn't fed or clothed me but    
I needed more than that    
I needed your love and attention    
     
Do you remember    
The time the strange man came with cookies    
He said he was thirsty and tired      
And out bound a curious girl      
With light, curly hair and offered water      
So we spoke, openly and bravely for a little girl    
     
Do you remember    
He told you I was kind    
That you should be proud of me    
That he would be proud of me    
He said you had a good daughter      
He hoped his own child grew up to be like me    
     
Do you remember    
All the times I tried      
I wanted to be what you wanted    
I tried so hard to be someone you would love    
But I guess I screw it up    
Too many piercings and no diploma    
The fashion sense of a shoe found in a river    
Nothing like the sister you get along with so much better    
     
Will you remember    
Any of the times I said I love you    
Any of the times you said you love me    
Any of the times I tried to prove it    
Or will it all be mistakes and flunders and too many piercings
