Lyrics
Remember Me
Verse 1:
He always kept her close, but felt pushed away.
Tried to ignore the pain, though the heart just wanted to stay.
He knew the light in her shined brighter than the stars.
Must have fallen from above. Like an angelic dove.
Pre Chorus:
And like the sands of time, trickling down every day.
Through winds of change, the love for her always remains.
Through the never drying tears, and all the wasted years.
He said..... He said
Chorus:
Remember me
I should never have waited for time
Remember me
all I wanted was you to be mine
Remember me
would have made me the happiest man
Remember me
when I'm lying underneath the sand
Verse 2:
She'd look at him, but never really see.
Couldn't hear the words he was trying to speak.
All of his hopes and dreams are lying with him.
Below the surface, as it was before he passed.
Pre Chorus
Chorus
Bridge:
Every day time went on forever.
But a lifetime went by so fast.
