Story Behind The Song

I heard the line "Please remember me like this..." on a TV show and thought about the people I have lost that lost who they were in the final months... weeks... days...

Song Description

When you lose someone, for whatever reason, I believe they would want you to remember them at their best... before whatever it was that took them started to take over...

Lyrics

Remember Me Like This

I know you watch me in the morning sun
sleeping soundly cause I know that you're there
trying so hard not to wake me up
even though you know I... I wouldn't care

look closer breathe me in
know my touch want my kiss
and remember me like this
baseball cap faded jeans and eyes just for you
running with Cody and my ol' truck...
loving every little thing... that you do...

You'll hear me like I'm in the next room
typing away on my old keyboard
writing another two fingered song for you
takin' me a little longer than it ever did before

so listen closer breathe me in
know my touch 'n want my kiss
and remember me like this... just like this

And when you see me in the clouds you'll reminisce
with that sweet smile instead of tears... for what you miss
if you remember... if you remember me like this

baseball cap faded jeans and eyes just for you
running with Cody and my ol' truck...
loving every little thing... that you do... yeah that you do...

then look closer breathe me in
know my touch 'n want my kiss
and remember me like this...
yeah love me now... and remember me like this...
remember me like this...
yeah love me now... and remember me like this
