REMEMBER ME
Save my place at our family table,
This empty chair will suit me well.
Now that I'm gone, I long to join you again,
Let me sit here a while with you.
Remember me, remember me,
I once belonged in this cheerful circle.
Remember me, remember me,
I know every voice, every laugh, every smile--
and you knew mine.
Save my place at our family table,
This empty chair will suit me well.
It's good you've kept this joyous time revered,
Even departed souls may join
this overflowing happiness.
Remember me, remember me,
I long to share my song with you,
This comforts me, this comforts me,
It pleases me to see your joy restored,
Save my place at this festive table,
My favorite chair feels safe and welcome.
Your lovely faces still shed warmth so easily,
I feel your love for me still freely flowing.
This bond among you grows ever stronger.
May you always stay close to one another,
May you know peace,
May you remember me.
