REMEMBERING PEARL (HARBOR)
I wasn’t there… when you laid down… your life,
But, I stand here… before you,
With tears… in my eyes.
I can’t change… the past,
No… I can’t… bring you back;
But, I promise you, this… I will keep you, alive!
I’ll Remember… You
Remember… Me
Remember… ALL… That life should be!
And, when… its sun
Sets… on… this place,
I will… Remember… Your face.
I’ll… Never… Forget
Never… Regret,
Never… Look back, or, second-guess…
What God… had done
If… I’m the one… left,
I’ll… Remember,
To… Never Forget!
I wasn’t there… when you called out… my name.
No, I… could not… hold you
Or… comfort… your pain.
I can’t change… what’s happened,
No, I can’t… turn back… time;
But, I promise you, this… Forever… you’re mine!
Remember… Me
Remember… You,
Remember… ALL… we loved to do!
And, when… life’s sun
Sets… on my face,
Remember… Me… You… this place!
Never… Forget
Never… Regret,
Never… Look back, or, second-guess;
What… God… has done
If, you’re… the one… left,
Remember,
To… Never Forget!
(Musical Interlude)
Remember… Me
Remember… You,
Remember… ALL… We loved to do!
And, when… life’s sun
Sets… on this place,
Remember… Never Forget!
Remember… THEN
Remember… WHEN,
Remember… ALL… We could have been!
And, when… God’s sun
Sets… on your face,
Remember… Me, You… this place!
Never… Forget
Never… Regret,
Never… Look back, don’t second-guess
What… God… has done
If, you’re… the one… left,
Remember,
Never Forget!
Remember… Me
Remember… You,
Remember… ALL… We loved to do.
And, when… life’s sun
Sets… on this place,
They’ll… Remember,
And, Never…
Never Forget!
