Lyrics:

Refrain: I will remember you.
Will you remember me?
Don't let your life pass you by.
Weep not for the memories.
I'm so tired, but I can't sleep.

1. Standing on the edge of something much too deep.
It's funny how I feel so much but cannot say a word.
Though we are screaming inside or we can't be heard.

2. I'll remember you.
I'll remember you.
I'm so afraid to love you,
I'm more afraid to lose,
Clinging to a past that doesn't let me choose.
Well once there was a darkness,
A deep and endless night.
You gave me everything you had,
You gave me light.
And I will remember you.

Coda: I'll remember you.
I will remember you.
I'll remember.
Will you remember me?
Don't let your life pass you by
I'll remember you.
Weep not for the memories.

To hear a performance of this song, go to Patti's music - the music of my life: I will remember you (Sarah McLachlan).
