Remember Me?
Johnny was walking home from school
when he saw a girl moving in next door.
He tried and tried to make her think he was cool,
so she wouldn't know he was poor.
They talked and ran, laughed and played
until one day when she asked Johnny what he wanted to be,
and all he said was "I don't care as long as you remember me."
Remember me,
and all the fun times we're having right now.
I wish to know
everything about you, and how
you came to be...
remember me?
A few years down the road
he moved away.
His dad got a new job,
and that girl, she cried so much that day
it was almost as if she could hear him say...
Remember me,
and all the fun times we had back then.
I want to know
everything about you, and how
you came to be...
and she thought...
Remember me,
and how I fell in love with you on that very day.
We were poor,
but I knew you were rich inside the whole time.
I wish I'd told
you exactly how I felt, but now there's so much left to say.
I want to be
with you in that place, so your heart could be with mine.
A few years later she got word that her friend had died,
but at the funeral
she couldn't seem to cry
because the last letter she got from him
said he had met a friend named Christ.
At that point she looked up to a cross
hung above the pews.
As she stared at it
she decided to choose...
Lord remember me,
and all the times that I have sinned against you.
I'm so sorry now for them.
I wish to know
everything about you, and how
you came to be,
so I can see
my friend again in heaven,
so on this day won't you please...
remember me?
