Remembered hours of favorite days,
Remembered escapades in play,
Remembered words I heard you say —
Mem’ries that help make me who I am.
Remembered projects side-by-side,
Remembered impossible tasks we tried,
Remembered emptiness since you died —
Mem’ries that help make me who I am.
Remembered sweetness, lack of guile,
Remembered generous extra miles,
Remembered voice, still makes me smile —
Mem’ries that help make me who I am.
