Lyrics
I Will Always Remember You
(For the victims of the Newtown, Connecticut shooting)
E. B
Innocence lost in a minute
A B
Unexplained forever changed
E. B
Time moves on like a gentle breeze
A. B
Erasing memories of yesterday
G#m
I may be broken
A
At a loss for words
E B
I wonder why things happen like they do
G#m A
On an island drowning in my tears
A. B. E
But I will always remember you
E. B
I loved to watch you sleep and hear you breathe
A B
And the way you always smiled
E B
Your laugh when you got tickled
A. B
And that sparkle in your eye
G#m. A
I will keep all your special treasures
E B
And the pictures that you drew
G#m. A
I won't forget the time we shared
A. B. E
Cuz I will always remember you
Musical break. E. B. A. B. E. B. A. B
G#m
I pray for peace
A
Come and set me free
E. B
For a day when things will be made new
G#m. A
Until then I'll hold you in my heart
A. B. E
I will always remember you
A. B. E
Yes I will always remember you
