[Verse 1]
C
  When her grandkids come to visit her
C
Sometimes she forgets their names
    G      D
Her memory is selective now
Em                        C
  Small details just fade away
Am                                D
  She looks out the window with a vacant stare
Am                              D
  She can't remember what she's doing there

[Chorus]
          G
But she remembers love
    Em
The blue in his eyes
C
Hot summer nights
     D                              G
It's like she's memorized his every touch
           Em               C
And how he swept her heart away
            D
Like it was yesterday
      C            D
She remembers love

[Verse 2]
C
  On her dresser there's a special box
                        D
Where she keeps a faded flower
C                         D
  From a wild field where they made love
Em                            C
  And woke each other's first desire
Am                           D
  The passion never died for 60 years
Am
  And since she's lost him
            D
Some things haven't been so clear

[Chorus]
          G
But she remembers love
    Em
The blue in his eyes
C
Hot summer nights
     D                              G
It's like she's memorized his every touch
           Em               C
And how he swept her heart away
            D
Like it was yesterday
      G
She remembers love

[Bridge]
D       Em
Now she comes and goes
            C
And doesn't always know
     Am
What day it is
     G
What year it is
   C            D
Or who somebody was

[Chorus]
          G
But she remembers love
    Em
The blue in his eyes
C
Hot summer nights
     D                              G
It's like she's memorized his every touch
           Em               C
And how he swept her heart away
            D
Like it was yesterday
      C             D
She remembers love
      C             D  C  D
She remembers love
