Story Behind The Song
This Native American prayer has also been credited to other people but now clear authorship is available. I added a line from Proberbs in Hebrew to add another dimension of spirituality.
Song Description
When a loved one dies, the spirit lives on all around us in nature's gifts of the wind, the trees, the snow, the senses.

Lyrics
(Proverbs 10:7 in Hebrew, and Native American prayer)
I give you this one thought to keep:
I am with you still, I do not sleep
I am a thousand winds that blow
I am the diamond glints on snow
I am the sunlight on ripened grain
I am the gentle autumn rain
When you awaken in the morning?s hush
I am the swift uplifting rush of quiet birds
In circled flight
I am the soft stars that shine at night
Do not think of me as gone
I am with you still in each new dawn
I am with you still
I am with you still in each new dawn
Zecher tzaddik liv?racha
HEBREW TRANSLATION: The name of the righteous
is invoked in blessing.
