All I Want Is To Be Remembered

[Verse 1] Box of old photos Under my bed Dust on the yearbooks Names that I read All of these faces Faded and framed I trace the margins Wonder my name [Chorus] All I want is to be remembered More than a story they almost recall A line in the margins A laugh in the kitchen A name that still echoes when years start to fall All I want is to be remembered For how I made someone feel Not what I owned A light in the hallway A seat at the table A place in a heart that calls me home [Verse 2] I leave small notes In books that I lend A bad joke A question Signed as a friend If I disappear Quiet and slow Will someone stumble On what I wrote [Chorus] [Bridge] Not asking for statues Or letters in stone Just one late-night story That starts with “you know…” If I’m just a passing On somebody’s tongue Let it be gentle Let it be love [Chorus]
