#SaturdaySongs - Remembering

I am sharing a song if it...
> Spoke to what is going on in the world today...
> Moved me (for some reason or another)...
> Is a treasure that I just want to share...
> Is just something that I like to listen to... 

NOTE: I am not receiving any compensation for spotlighting these songs. I did not write them, sing them or own them... I am just sharing with others who may love music too. 

"Remembering
Performed by Ashley Campbell
Written by Ashley Campbell, Kai Jaron Welch 

This song has been a favorite of mine for awhile now...
But after MommyMarie made her transition, the end hits me a bit harder than it did before...
The last time I talked to her, she couldn't remember my name and didn't know what to say...
That's okay - I'll do the remembering!

Lyrics:
Four years old running up the stairs to your bed
Thunder rolls and I pull the covers over my head
You say it's just a storm, enjoy the show
You take me to the window, show me that it's beautiful
Never had to ask you to sing for me
It's just the way to put me at ease
Bone for bone we are the same
Bones get tired and they can't carry all the weight
We can talk until you can't even remember my name
Daddy don't you worry, I'll do the remembering
Daddy don't you worry, I'll do the remembering
First guitar and I just wasn't getting it right
You showed me how to play it, said it doesn't happen overnight
And in a couple years I come home and show you how I play "Blackbird"
And though I miss a couple notes you still say
That it was the best you'd ever heard
Never had to ask you to smile for me
It's just the way you put me at ease
Bone for bone we are the same
Bones get tired and they can't carry all the weight
We can talk until you can't even remember my name
Daddy don't you worry, I'll do the remembering
Daddy don't you worry, I'll do the remembering
Now I have to ask you to sing for me
And I have to show you the words to sing
You're standing right in front of me and slipping away
Bone for bone we are the same
Bones get tired and they can't carry all the weight
We can talk until you can't even remember my name
Daddy don't you worry, I'll do the remembering
Daddy don't you worry, I'll do the remembering

 Namaste.
