Lyrics
"In Loving Memory"
copyright 2010 by Jim Covington (ASCAP), Big Bear Lake, Ca.
written for Johnny Tillotson, who's long time friend
and manager (Jim Wagner) died
Verse -
Gone to soon from our world...,
The time is not our choosing.
When called to serve another....,
to us it's just confusing,
But if we do accept what is,
and what has come to pass...,
We'll know deep down, within our hearts,
Our friend's at peace........, at last.....
Chorus - In lov-ing mem-ory, we shall remember,
in lov-ing mem-ory, we won't forget,
the things that made them, so very... special,
In lov-ing mem-ory, we won't, we won't ...forget.
Bridge - So great... a loss, can not... be measured,
not even by our grief...,
Though the time they shared a-mong us...,
seems so ve-ry brief.
So now we bow, and make our peace,
Thankful that ... they...crossed... our.... path..... in Life...
Chorus End- . . . . In lov-ing mem-ory, we shall remember,
in lov-ing mem-ory, we won't, we won't . . . forget,
we won't forget.
we won't, we won't . . . forget
