Someone To Remember Me.

Someone To Remember Me.

Lyrics: British songwriter and co-writer of seven of Westlife’s number one singles, Wayne Anthony Hector and English songwriter, record producer and Ivor Novello Award winner Stephen Paul Robson.
Vocals: British tenor Russell Watson.

Someone To Remember Me.

I hope you see as you look down,
All of this love gathered around,
I hope you hear what people say,
I hope you know the role you play.
You were my rock, you were my shield,
This space you leave, no one can fill,
You held the room, you cast a spell,
You’ll always be remembered well.
And when my days have come and gone,
I hope I leave more right than wrong.
I want to feel this love I see,
When I am gone, I hope there’ll be someone to remember me.
Though you’re not here, not here with me,
A part of you will always be.
I’ll hear your laughter, I’ll see the smile,
I’ll feel you near once in a while.
And when my days have come and gone,
I hope I leave more right than wrong,
I want to feel this love I see,
When I am gone, I hope there’ll be someone to remember me.
And when the days have come and gone,
I hope I’ll leave more right than wrong.
I want to feel this love I see,
When I am gone, I hope there’ll be someone to remember,
Someone to remember me.
Someone to remember me.

Harvest Moon.

Harvest Moon.

Lyrics: Canadian and American singer, songwriter, musician, film director, and screenwriter Neil Percival Young OC. OM.
Vocals: Neil Young.

Harvest Moon.

Come a little bit closer,
Hear what I have to say.
Just like children sleeping,
We could dream this night away.
But there’s a full moon rising,
Let’s go dancing in the light,
We know where the music’s playing,
Let’s go out and feel the night.
Because I’m still in love with you,
I want to see you dance again,
Because I’m still in love with you,
On this harvest moon.
When we were strangers,
I watched you from afar.
When we were lovers,
I loved you with all my heart,
But now it’s getting late,
And the moon is climbing high.
I want to celebrate,
See it shining in your eye,
Because I’m still in love with you,
I want to see you dance again,
Because I’m still in love with you,
On this harvest moon.
Because I’m still in love with you,
I want to see you dance again,
Because I’m still in love with you,
On this harvest moon.


END.
