Woke up to the sound of pouring rain
The wind would whisper
and I'd think of you and all the tears
you cried that called my name
And when you needed me
I came through

I paint a picture of the days gone by
When love went blind
and you would make me see
I'd stare a lifetime into your eyes
So that I knew
that you were there for me
Time after time you were there for me

Remember yesterday
walking hand in hand
love letters in the sand
I remember you
through the sleepless nights
and through every endless day
I'd wanna hear you say
I remember you

We spend the summer
with the top rolled down
Wished ever after would be like this
You said I love you
babe, without a sound
I said I'd give my life for just one kiss
I'd live for your smile
and die for your kiss


We've had our share of hard times
But that's the price we paid
And through it all we kept
the promise that we made
I swear you'll never be lonely


Woke up to the sound of pouring rain
Washed away a dream of you
But nothing else could
ever take you away
'Cause you'll always
be my dream come true
Oh my darling, I love you

---- Skid Row, 1991, I'll remember you
One of the best lyrical poems I have ever read and shall read. Its of course more contemporary and does not/should not compare with the 'poems' as we tend to define them.
