THE BODY REMEMBERS
Music by Don Grusin and Lorraine Feather
Lyrics by Lorraine Feather
Early today I felt a strange delight
At first I didn't quite understand why
All of a sudden I knew
My body was remembering you
Ooh, you know I shivered all over
My hair stood on end
I felt my head, my heart, my hands
All start to be, at long last
Happy again
Once upon a time you were near
Oh sweetheart, it was more than clear to me
Even if you left
You'd be worth your weight in gold as a memory
And so it gets a little complicated
Finding someone new
I know someday I'll get over you
But not just yet
I don't want to
It's true, the body remembers
What the mind tries to forget
Somehow my friends think if they speak your name
I'll go into some kind of depression
I would expect it myself
And yet I go into something else
Ooh, it feels too good to relive it
But still I would choose
To keep your words, your touch, your smile
And such - too sweet by a mile
For me to lose
Everybody says to move on
You're long gone
Part of ancient history
But it's up to me
If I wish to replay each lovely memory
So what if they should laugh and call me crazy
Baby I may be
(CHORUS)
