From the recording Say My Name
Your Memory, written for my own grief and for grieving friends, assures us that all that we lose continues to live within us, close at hand. I say thank you that we can summon our memories and their details whenever we need them.
Lyrics
Your memory is a gift I carry with me
As I trace each treasured moment one by one
I need only close my eyes
And you are right here by my side
A deep wellspring of love I bring along
Your memory is the shade I rest within
A comfort I have known wrapped ‘round me tight
Woven into flesh and bone
Places that are yours alone
Remain with me in darkness and in light
The story of who I am and who I’m yet to be
Always builds on chapters of who you are to me
Your memory is a gift I carry with me
As I trace each treasured moment one by one
I need only close my eyes
And you are right here by my side
Inviting me and calling me back home
The story of who I am and who I’m yet to be
Always builds on chapters of who you are to me
So I say thank you
I say thank you, thank you, thank you
I say thank you
Thank you
You are woven into my flesh and bone
There are places that are yours alone
You call me home
I say thank you
Thank you
