As Long As you Remember Me

As long as you remember me,
my memory will live on.
My spirit will be there with you
at every breaking dawn.
I’ll sing to you through birds in spring
and whisper through the trees,
I’ll bring you gentle comfort
with a warm, caressing breeze.
As long as you remember me,
my love will fill your heart
and help to ease the sorrow
that you feel while we’re apart.
With thoughts of me,
perhaps you’ll see the wonder of each day,
the joy of sunlit afternoons,
and nature’s grand display.
As long as you remember me,
I always will be near
to lend you sweet tranquility
as night time stars appear.
The bond that we have shared will be
a link from me to you
to give you hope for brighter days
and strength to see you through.
