Do You Ever Remember? Lyrics
Do you ever remember?
Now you are so far away
Things that we used to laugh about
Crazy things we’d say
There were so many May times
When every word was a song
There were so many gay times
Before it all went all so wrong
But time is ever a vagabond
Time was always a thief
Time can steal away happiness
But time can take away grief
So I won’t try to remember
For that way leads to regret
Though I will try to remember
What I can never forget
-Molly Drake
Family Tree
Now you are so far away
Things that we used to laugh about
Crazy things we’d say
There were so many May times
When every word was a song
There were so many gay times
Before it all went all so wrong
Time was always a thief
Time can steal away happiness
But time can take away grief
So I won’t try to remember
For that way leads to regret
Though I will try to remember
What I can never forget

Can anyone tell me whether Nick or Molly Drake actually wrote this song?
I would love to think that Molly wrote this fabulous song! Even more than that, I really want her to have written it after Nick died.

It's one of those songs that comes to life with headphones on, you can literally feel Molly's pain and anguish. 'Do you ever remember? Now you are so far away.' She then goes on to recall all the fun Nick had when he was a young lad, 'before it all went so wrong' The second verse is remarkable, she...

Nick was an amazing artist with a tortured life, but he had an amazingly courageous and understanding family. Molly must be so proud.
