(Verse 1)

It’s been years since we’ve seen each other…
You might not remember my name
But I still remember you all the same

Back when we were kids, we used to play
And dream about the future— those were the days
I go back all the time and relive those memories


(Prechorus)

My heart stopped, the second that I heard the news
Tears streamed down my face; I felt broken and bruised
There’s nothing I can do or say to make the pain go away…


(Chorus)

I’ll light a candle in your name
Keep your picture next to me in a frame
And every night, I’ll stop and pray

I know we weren’t close; we’ve lived so far apart
But I’ll keep your memory in my heart
For all time… forever and always


(Verse 2)

7:00 AM on a Saturday,
I head out with my six-string, to get away
To clear my head, maybe play a song or two, and just pray…

Sitting there, I reminisce about the fun we had
And I can’t help but think about your mom and dad,
Your family… I hope they’re doing ok.


(Chorus)

I’ll light a candle in your name
Keep your picture next to me in a frame
And every night, I’ll stop and pray

I know we weren’t close; we’ve lived so far apart
But I’ll keep your memory in my heart
For all time… forever and always


(Bridge)

It’s not goodbye, my friend
‘Cause I know we’ll see each other again
Someday


(Chorus)

I’ll light a candle in your name
Keep your picture next to me in a frame
And every night, I’ll stop and pray

I know we weren’t close; we’ve lived so far apart
But I’ll keep your memory in my heart
For all time… forever and always
