In My Song You Live Forever

(words & music Joe Pereira)

I’m trying to remember
what made your day
trying not to surrender
into dismay

You’ve been gone for so long now
but the wound won’t heal
those who say time’ll fix it
don’t know how to feel
ain’t no use in trying
to ignore the pain
ain’t no use pretending
that we’ll meet again

time will heal what we forget
easy thing to do
there’s no magic in the world
to give back what we lose,
along the way

I got back into music
because of you
you gave me your guitar
and your time too

you said I should continue
and never give up
kept on asking me to play
told me where to pick up
made me play for large crowds
in your piece of land
always pushing me along
giving me a hand

Now I sing this song for you
its all I have to give
you no longer hear me sing
but in my song you live
forever, you live
in my song forever
you live, in my song forever
