Nail, David - That's How I'll Remember You Lyrics






Wakin' up in the sand, sunburn on your nose
You scream and squeezed my hand
When your east Kentucky toes hit the Atlantic
Summertime in Brooklyn, Mustard on your lip
I knew I loved you by the bottom of the fifth
I never planned it

A million perfect moments go rushin' through my brain
Our first trip to the ocean, your first time on a plane
When you look over your shoulder, baby, you can choose
To remember me however you want to
That's how I'll remember you

The dress that you were wearin', soakin' up the stains
I can still see your mascara, though I can't recall the pain
Of what came after
You were even beautiful tellin' me goodbye
Maybe my version of the truth is just a lie
What Does It Matter?
What Does It Matter?

A million perfect moments go rushin' through my brain
Every time I smell October you're standing in the rain
When you look over your shoulder, baby, you can choose
To Remember me however you want to
That's how I'll remember you
I've forgot the bitter, the winter's just a blur
I savor the sweet as if the summer's all we were
And ever will be, oh, and I still see

A million perfect moments go rushin' through my brain
Every time I touch the ocean, anytime I taste the rain
When you look over your shoulder, baby, you can choose
To remember me however you want to
That's how I'll remember you.

That's how I'll remember you

    Anyone know where to find guitar tabs for this?

  3. B.... G....

    Awesome singer, song and beautifully written! I'm trying to learn it now and am struggling with the progression. Every time I listen to it (as well as many others you sing) it gets better and better! Big fan!

  4. T.... c....

    Just beautiful! I hope to have someone to love me that way. Hoping maybe someday.

  5. A.... C....

    God blessed us all to be able to love

    The bond between mother and child is unbreakable, no matter what or whom. I love you Madelyn Marie, and I know you love me too. We made it, my sweet girl! Always and Forever, Mama ❤

  7. s.... g....

  15. P.... D....

    Love when he says, "mas-CARA" at 1:31... like music porn to my ears. I listen to this song over and over and over. Can't get enough of this song. It really showcases his talent and amazing vocals. Keep it coming DBN and hit up Cincinnati area again... we love true talent here and would love to have ya showcased here

  16. S.... A....

    That's Eric from Kip Moore and the Slow Hearts. I didn't know he played with David before Kip. Very cool!

  17. P.... M....

    David Nail thank you for the awesome music u create. U are in a class all in your own!

    P.... M....

    David did not write this song but he sang the hell out of it! ;)

    P.... M....

    Yes he did👏

    P.... M....

    The song was "written" by: Brandy Clark, Shane McAnally and Madeleine Slate. David "performed & recorded the song" Not the same thing as have written it. It you're not in the music business this is easy to misunderstand. Have a great day. Hope to see you at a concert. :)

    P.... M....

    do you know anyone who likes you? who gives a shit who wrote it. have you ever heard them that were good enough to sing iit like David? GET A LIFE!!!

  18. T.... O....

  24. K.... ....

    DAVID NAIL COULD SING A CHINESE MENU AND MAKE IT SOUND LIKE A HIT SONG!! IN A LEAGUE OF HIS OWN FOR SURE

  25. S.... A....

    Keep on moving David. Your amazing sir

  26. q.... ....

    David's sound is where I wish Country music was today - the great story-telling ballads. His "The Sound of a Million Dreams" album is excellent in that. The "Country" music sound today, sadly,  is the sound of harsh guitars, tear-up with my pick-up truck, in-your-face rather than from-the-heart. As George Strait put it, "the steel guitars no longer cry and fiddles barely play, but drums and rock 'n roll guitars are mixed up in your face."

  27. K.... L....

    That's How I'll Remember ur song forever music

  28. K.... M....

    This song brought tears to my eyes. I saw David nail last year, and I can't wait for the oppertunity to see him again. He never fails to disappoint me. This song = True Beauty in country music 

  29. k.... b....

    every song that he does is very unique and it comes from the heart and you can feel that in his songs

  30. M.... E....

    Man I love this guy. His songs are so unique and he sets himself apart from nowadays country and I love that about him.

  31. A.... H....

    that's how i'll remember you should have been a smash hit for David but sometimes those things happens when when you don't kiss your record company's ass like he wouldn't with Mercury. you stood up for your independence David and that's worth more than money. this is one of the best songs written by any other Mercury Records artists, for sure... thumbs up bud!!!

  32. c.... M....

    This makes me remember why ill never forget (you)

  33. A.... H....

    there's so many ways, but for now i'll just give you some examples..

  34. L.... I....

    Don't know how everything works but I feel that Nail has what it takes to make a new country star.  Since I'm a MO fan I wonder if what I say here helps but I feel that David Nail has something to offer musically.

  35. c.... s....

    So let me get this straight. All I have to do is learn 7 chords on the guitar, grow a half goat, wear  a plad shirt, n spend 3 1/2 minutes blowing sunshine up a pretty chicks ass, n I can quit my day job???

  36. C.... P....

    van Morrison needs to sing this song

  37. M.... W....

    Never disappointed in David Nail.

  38. j.... c....

    this is the first time I've heard this song and it still brought up memories from my past ..... that's something special

  39. M.... K....

    This is so good

  40. K.... H....

    One way to get this guy on the charts more is to call Radio and demand they play him.  He's worth it! Every song David does is great!!!

  41. j.... w....

    gna see him fri at st andrews hall in the d !! me and my baby with her jeans painted on tight !!!! :)

  42. r.... ....

    Wow pure singer!

  43. f.... c....

    Ohh I love this song

  44. k.... ....

    What a beast! Love this guy I hope he's around for a long time!

  45. S.... D....

    This is how everyone should remember their ex's. It takes some of the bitter out of life.

  46. I.... S....

    How can anybody dislike this?? They must be deaf as shit

  47. K.... B....

    I wish David Nail would put together a whole cd of acoustics! 

  48. A.... P....

    So amazing...and absolutely adorable (:

  49. E.... L....

    love this song makes me remember all the good times all i remember is the good times always 

  50. B.... ....

    LOVE this guy! Can't wait to see him in May!

  51. C.... M....

    Best songs ever!!!

  52. M.... A....

    His voice is addicting. This version I love so much better than on the album! Keep singing Mr.Nail

  53. C.... R....

    Your voice is amazing !! Chills !!!

  54. C.... P....

    I love this song...

  55. C.... L....

    This song is amazing!!

  56. B.... S....

    I really am surprised at how he has not done better in the main stream...

  57. S.... W....

    @David Nail I remember the first time streaming a radio channel, Turning home came on and I kept making it rewind to hear it over and over. Keep up the fight, your songs cary the power you just haven't hit the main stream,each day will draw you closer to that because we will keep sharing your work. I personally want to say thanks for standing strong and recording that song, I have many more I like but that was the song that led me to buy and follow your work. If even Kenny was willing to have you sing it, he knew you were on your way. Keep it up I am watching and listening.

  58. E.... S....

    I'm a big fan of David's work and he was great in concert.  He inspires me to become a better songwriter.

  59. m.... m....

    like this...

  60. J.... ....

    Da bwoy yah bad no bumbo!

  61. N.... M....

    Oooh, sooo beautiful, so very sad... Love this!

  62. M.... ....

    He is just so good! WOW! 

  63. T.... M....

    This song sums up my last relationship so much heart break but I'll still remember all the good times

  64. C.... H....

    I love this version 10x more than the album version. You can hear the feeling in his voice.

  65. M.... N....

  66. J.... K....

    I actually have chills

  67. s.... k....

    Perrrrfect

  68. C.... K....

  69. C.... K....

    By far a top 3 pig his songs. The MOST underrated Country Artist of all time.

  70. a.... j....

    To remember me however you want to

  75. C.... P....

    David Nail is such an underrated artist

  76. E.... S....

    Wow!!! You deserve a Grammy. Eric ~

  77. C.... E....

    As a guitarist, I believe Guild suits him best. He also plays Gibson, which drowns him out a bit

  78. C.... E....

    I know, why? He's different. More intellectual and thoughtful, not star hungry? Maybe that's it

  79. C.... E....

    So right!

  80. C.... E....

    Love David Nail. Amazingly talented everything

  81. y.... ....
