[Verse]
Here we are sitting in the warm sunshine
I'm holding your tiny hand in mine
God knows it ain't gonna be any time
Before you’re grown
But I wasn't young when you come along
And chances are long before that day comes
My time in this sweet old world’ll be done
And I’ll be gone
[Verse]
You’re looking at me, I'm looking at you
And it’s everything a grown man can do
Not to break down and cry like a fool
When you smile at me
I can only that hope I do my best
With whatever time that we got left
And when everything’s done and said
You’ll remember me
[Chorus]
Remember me on some sunny day
When everything’s going your way
Because on the day you were born I prayed
That’s the way it would be
Remember me on a stormy night
When there’s no sign of shelter in sight
And you soldier on through to the light
'Cause that’s all you see, remember me
[Verse]
Now you got angels watching over you
And your mama don’t suffer fools
And there ain't nothing that she wouldn't do for you
I don’t believe
But there’ll come a day when you’re all alone
And you’ll have to stand up on your own
And when it’s muscle and blood and bone
Remember me
[Chorus]
Remember me on some sunny day
When everything’s going your way
Summer day you were born I prayed
That’s the way it would be
Remember me on a stormy night
When there’s no sign of shelter in sight
And you soldier on through to the light
'Cause that’s all you see, remember me
