Story Behind The Song
As with all Americans I felt I needed to do something to honor the courage and memory of our fallen heroes. I grew up in the same neighborhood as Vinny and felt that a tribute song about him would be a nice gift to his wife and family.

Lyrics
Verse 1: You gave us love, You showed us happiness,You gave us strength, to carry on...and keep our faith.
Chorus: We will remember you, yes in every way
Your smile shined so bright, it lightened up our day
We will remember you, with each and every day
Your spirit lives with us, they can't take that away, We will remember
Verse 2: Be brave, be strong, Have fun and live your life
Be kind , be warm, and show the world, you're standing tall
Back to Chorus:
Bridge: You were the one we could always count on any time
You were the one who made us laugh until we cried
Staring at the sky, we know your star will always shine
You've left before your time, You'll always sparkle in our eyes
Solo/ Back to Chorus
