Jill's Song (I'll Remember You)

Intro:
Sometimes when I'm alone and feelin' lonely,
I'll remember all the blessings that came my way.
I'll remember all the years filled with love and joy and tears,
And I'll remember those I've loved along the way.
But above the rest, there's just one that I loved best
The one who made my every dream come true:
I'll remember you. I'll remember you.
1.
I remember when we first met, dear
A summer's day, I'll never forget
How my heart already knew then that I'd
be in love with you my whole life through, sweetheart.
2.
I remember children and laughter.
Their world was ours for a while
Nursery rhymes and lullabies, and dolls that cried
And a love that filled our home with warmth inside.
Chorus
My heart is filled with golden memories
Of days and seasons that we've shared.
So many long and precious moments
gilded with love so rich and rare.
And if I'm ever asked the question:
Just who made my dreams come true,
I will proudly speak your name,
'cause I'll remember you.
3.
There were times when trouble would come our way,
And we wondered how we'd survive.
But our love was strong enough to see us through
And those troubles simply made us stronger too.
4.
I recall warm beaches in springtime,
Summer walks on white sandy shores;
Chilly days and autumn's colored leaves galore
Winter nights and a fire's golden glow, and more.
(Chorus)
My heart is filled with golden memories
Of days and seasons that we've shared.
So many long and precious moments
gilded with love so rich and rare.
And if I'm ever asked the question:
Just who made my dreams come true,
I will proudly speak your name,
'cause I'll remember you.
