I remember you watching me so that I could go swim
I remember the days that we would talk forever
I remember you helping me finish my dinner plate
I remember you
And I always will
I remember when you moved out
I remember you moved a long ways away
I remember you living with Aunt and Uncle
I remember you
And I always will
I remember you getting your own place
I remember you were always lonely
I remember you
And I always will
I remember you always sending me that 10.00 check for my birthday
I remember you always being there
I remember you
And I always will
I remember your stubborness
I remember you not getting the oxygen tank when you needed it the most
I remember you
And I always will
I remeber your many visits to the hospital
I remember you being hooked up to the respirator
I remember you
And I always will
I remember mom telling me "Be prepared"
I remember you always pulling through
I remember you
And I always will
I remember one day
I remember seeing my mom crying
I remember her saying "He couldn't hold on anymore"
I remember falling to the ground in tears
I remember you
And I always will
I remember rushing over there
I remember being there with everybody
I remember missing something, missing someone
I remember you
And I always will
I remember not getting one of your hugs
I remember not seeing your face
I remember you
And I always will
I remember walking in the house
I remember seeing all of your stuff
I remember it tearing me apart
I remember you
And I always will
I remember getting all dressed up
I remember going to the church
I remember seeing all of the pictures of all of us together
I remember all the memories
I remember breaking down and crying
I remember you
And I always will
I remember being there as we all mourned your death
I remember feeling you there with us
I remember you telling me it will be ok
I remember everyone crying
I remember you
And I always will.
