Lyrics

In the stillness of the night
I listen to the sound of the wind
And it?s almost like you?re
calling out my name
At times I feel you by my side
and all at once I feel unafraid
because I know nothing can
hurt me while you?re near

And when I see a rainbow I smile
and think about when I was a child
There?s no one that can tell me you?re gone
?Cause in my mind your memory lives on
I do remember you ~ I do remember you

You used to sing these silly songs
You knew just how to make me laugh
The thought of you brings sunshine to a rainy day
How I loved to watch you dance
Like music was inside your soul
With a rhythm inside every move you made

I think about the things that you?d say
said I would understand them one day
You said to myself always be true
and that?s one thing I always will do
I do remember you ~ I do remember you

I can?t forget the times we had
Through all the good and through the bad
They will be with me forever
You made a difference in my life
With all your love and sacrifice
And I won?t forget you, never, no?

~Piano solo~

And when I see a rainbow I smile
and think about when I was a child
There?s no one that can tell me you?re gone
?cause in my mind your memory lives on
I do remember you ~ I do remember you
