Song of Remembrance

I look back through my memories
Past autumn days and fallen leaves

To time now past and out of view

When part of me lived deep in you



Now I don’t know where you have gone

Or what of me you took along

But in this quiet song I sing

I touch some sweet remembering



I open up my heart and pray that you’ll step in

I’d tell you all about the years gone by and how I’ve been

I’ll tell you how I never once stopped loving you

You’ll be amazed at all the promise, at all the coming true



Songs like lives come to an end

But can be passed from friend to friend

So let me sing a line or two

Of love and loss, of me and you



And let the words hang in the air

Till I can almost see them there

Then let them fall away like rain

And leave the silence once again
