I Tell You All This


I tell you all this,

Because I want you to remember.

My favorite food, my birthday,

What I did last December.

 

I tell you all this,

Because one day I'll forget.

What did I eat for breakfast?

Have I done this yet?

 

I tell you all this,

Because in memories, I'll always be with you.

It'll be like I never left,

And by remembering, I know you'll make it through.
