Remember Me.

Remember Me.

Vocals: Christie Hennessy from the album ‘Stories for sale’.
Lyrics: Written by Irish folk singer/songwriter from County Kerry; the late, great Christie Hennessy.
Mr Hennessy wrote and performed this song for the opening of a garden of remembrance, a place where people could scatter their loved one’s ashes, plant a tree, if they wished, and feel close to them. He passed away on this month (December 11th 2007) from lung cancer, while in a London hospice, aged 62 years.

Remember Me.

Remember me whenever you’re blue.
Remember me when there’s no one holding you.
Any time you feel like you can’t make it through,
Remember me and I will be with you.
Remember me whenever you’re afraid,
And when you lose your dreams along the way.
Any time you feel like you can’t make it through,
Remember me and I will be with you.
Every night and every day I’ll be by your side.
Just reach out and take my hand and I will be your guide,
And any time you feel like you can’t make it through,
Remember me and I will be with you.
Remember me whenever you’re afraid.
Remember me if there’s someone in my place.
Any time you feel like you can’t make it through,
Remember me and I will be with you.
Every night and every day I’ll be by your side.
Just reach out and take my hand and I will be your guide.
And any time you feel like oh you can’t make it through,
Remember me and I will be with you.
Remember me and I will be with you.
