[Verse 1] You used to tell the best old stories, 'Bout the summer you met my mom. You'd smile and say, "I still remember The dress she wore, it was hand-sewn." But now you stare out through the window, years are slipping by. You ask me for my name again, while I quietly cry. [Chorus] But even when your light grows dim, Even when the past seems thin, I’ll remind you who you’ve been A father, a brother, and a husband. (and a husband) [Verse 2] We sit and watch the fire glow, You can't recall my face. You whisper, "Hey, do I know you?" And now I must embrace Every moment, every second, While you fade a little more. I hold your hand, I hold your stories, Like letters left from years before. [Chorus] But even when your light grows dim, Even when the past seems thin, I’ll remind you who you’ve been A father, a brother, and a husband. (and a husband) [Bridge] You might forget the roads we walked, The songs we sang, the talks we talked. But you will always live in me Your love's part of my memory. [Chorus] But even when your light grows dim, Even when the past seems thin, I’ll remind you who you’ve been A father, a brother, and a husband. (and a husband) [Outro] And when the skies call out your name, And Jesus takes you far away, I’ll keep you here in all I do So I will never forget you.
