In Memory

[Learner]

I can hear the truck tires coming up the gravel road

And its not like her to drive that slow, nothings on her radio

Footsteps on the front porch, I hear my doorbell

She usually comes right in, now I can tell

 

 

Here comes goodbye, here comes the last time

Here comes the start of every sleepless night

The first of every tear I'm gonna cry

Here comes the pain, Here comes me wishing things had never changed

And she was right here in my arms tonight, but here comes goodbye

 

I can hear her say I love you like it was yesterday

And I can see it written on her face that she had never felt this way

One day I thought Id see her with her daddy by her side

And violins would play here comes the bride

 

But here comes goodbye, here comes the last time

Here comes the start of every sleepless night

The first of every tear Im gonna cry

Here comes the pain, Here comes me wishing things had never changed(d)

And she was right here in my arms tonight, but here comes goodbye

 

 

Why does it have to go from good to gone?

Before the lights turn on, yeah and you're left alone

All alone, but here comes goodbye

 

Oh-oh-oh-oh

 

 

Here comes goodbye, here comes the last time

Here comes the start of every sleepless night

The first of every tear I'm gonna cry

Here comes the pain, Here comes me wishing things had never changed

And she was right here in my arms tonight, but here comes goodbye

Packing up the dreams God planted

In the fertile soil of you

Cant believe the hopes hes granted

Means a chapter in your life is through

But well keep you close as always

It wont even seem youve gone

cause our hearts in big and small ways

Will keep the love that keeps us strong

 

And friends are friends forever

If the lords the lord of them

And a friend will not say never

cause the welcome will not end

Though its hard to let you go

In the fathers hands we know

That a lifetimes not too long to live as friends.

 

With the faith and love gods given

Springing from the hope we know

We will pray the joy youll live in

Is the strength that now you show

 

But well keep you close as always

It wont even seem youve gone

cause our hearts in big and small ways

Will keep the love that keeps us strong

 

And friends are friends forever

If the lords the lord of them

And a friend will not say never

cause the welcome will not end

Though its hard to let you go

In the fathers hands we know

That a lifetimes not too long to live as friends.

I will be walking one day

Down a street far away

And see a face in the crowd and smile

Knowing how you made me laugh

Hearing sweet echoes of you from the past

I will remember you.

 

Look in my eyes while youre near

Tell me whats happening here

See that I dont want to say good-bye

Our love is frozen in time

Ill be your champion and youll be mine

I will remember

I will remember you.

 

Later on

When this fire is an ember

Later on

When the nights not so tender

Given time

Though its hard to remember darlin

I will be holding

Ill still be holding to you

I will remember you.

 

So many years come and gone

And yet the memory is strong

One word we never could learn

Good-bye

True love is frozen in time

Ill be your champion and youll be mine

I will remember you

So please remember

I will remember you

I will remember you

I will remember you

I will remember you

Thanks for the times that you've given me

The memories are all in my mind

And now that we've come to the end of our rainbow

There's something i must say out loud

 

You're once, twice, three times a lady

And I love you...

Yes, you're once, twice, three times a lady

And I love you... I love you...

 

When we are together the moments I cherish

With every beat of my heart

To touch you, to hold you

To feel you, to need you

There's nothing to keep us apart

 

You're once, twice, three times a lady

And I love you... I love you...
