Remember Me

Verse 1:

Now this one starts under a fine bliss

With happiness and a divine kiss

A loving home including three kids

When all was well before the sickness

But this one comes with an affliction

Consulted doctor with condition

And he found cancer in position

Now he brings dreadful premonition

Now I don’t know from superstition

Or times when a soul has to turn to religion

But this young woman was faced with decision

How to fight in a war of attrition

And how to cope

And how to try

And how to reach

And how to rise

And how to live with her remaining time

And how to hope for something she can’t find

Never in her mind

Ever did it climb to a place where her will was resigned

Faith so high they could slow down time

And turn these years to an endless shrine

But this is certainly a misfit

And it sure hurts to have to heed it

Cuz she don’t need no one’s forgiveness

She just needs something to fix this

Chorus:

I know you’re worried

Don’t be afraid

I’ve always loved you

I’ll always love you

You’re pain it makes my body hurt

You need to know

I’ve always loved you

I’ll always love you

Verse 2:

Like waking up in a dream

And finding it’s quite a new scene

With a hairless head and a grief so mean

And a sense of a used reprieve

Cuz his wife’s now frail and she’s far too lean

And no one’s coming to intervene

No one sure with a cure to be received

And she is ready to be relieved

Now there’s nothing left to do but breathe

Now I can’t speak from in the family

Or feign like I know firsthand their misery

Cuz how could a father just ignore

His family of five will soon become four

And how does a woman tell her husband to hold on

When times get tough and she’s left and long gone

How does a mother tell her daughter to be strong

For two younger brothers who have shuddered to move on

And it’s so damn heavy the weight’s on

It’s too unsteady to ride on

But he’s determined to pull through this terminal worldview

And come out it brand new

And no husband should have to bury you

Cuz we all know that it can bury you

Your warmth is felt and we do cherish you

Know you’re in our hearts

Chorus:

I know you’re worried

Don’t be afraid

I’ve always loved you

I’ll always love you

You’re pain it makes my body hurt

You need to know

I’ve always loved you

I’ll always love you

I know you’re worried

Don’t be afraid

I will always love you

And I hear your call

Remember me…
