Description
I apologize for the multiple previous versions of this song. I keep revising it. This has the proper vocals, recorded properly - with me singing into the front (correct) side of the mic.
This song was inspired by a documentary about a man who suffered a cerebral event leaving him with a short term memory of only 7 seconds. The song is in the point of view of his wife, who initially divorced him, but soon returned to be with him. She loved him that much.

Lyrics
Words and Music by Charlie Chen
You cry ‘cause you can't remember
Home is yesterday
I cry ‘cause I do remember
I am here to stay
‘Til I die
You said, I know your face
I know your smile
You said, Pull up a chair
Sit for a while
But you cry
Have I really loved you?
If you don't remember the love
Chorus:
7 seconds to live a lifetime
7 seconds to confess my sins
Heaven beckons, but I'm not ready
Another 7 seconds now begins
Yes, the candle is brief
But how brightly it burns
And I'll light it again and again
As we turn, turn, turn
Back the time
So, yes, I'll grab a chair
And give you a smile
I'll introduce myself
And stay for a while
For a lifetime
You may not remember my name
You'll remember my love
Chorus repeat
7 seconds holds a world of time
It's time enough to love
Chorus repeat
You cry ‘cause you can't remember
Home is yesterday
I cry ‘cause I do remember
I am here to stay
‘Til I die
You said, I know your face
I know your smile
You said, Pull up a chair
Sit for a while
But you cry
Have I really loved you?
If you don't remember the love
Chorus:
7 seconds to live a lifetime
7 seconds to confess my sins
Heaven beckons, but I'm not ready
Another 7 seconds now begins
Yes, the candle is brief
But how brightly it burns
And I'll light it again and again
As we turn, turn, turn
Back the time
So, yes, I'll grab a chair
And give you a smile
I'll introduce myself
And stay for a while
For a lifetime
You may not remember my name
You'll remember my love
Chorus repeat
7 seconds holds a world of time
It's time enough to love
Chorus repeat
