Songs That Make Us Remember Our Loved Ones


Recommended Posts

The first time I heard this song is when my dad was in the hospital taking his last breath and I cried so much.

The last thing I said to my dad was, you have been a great dad, I love you and thank you - and then I said you can let go...

Crystal Shawanda You Can Let Go Lyrics

Wind blowin' on my face

Sidewalk flyin' beneath my bike

A five year-old's first taste

Of what freedom's really like

He was runnin' right beside me

His hand holdin' on the seat

I took a deep breath and hollered

As I headed for the street

Chorus

You can let go now, Daddy

You can let go

Oh, I think I'm ready

To do this on my own

(It's still) (It still feels) a little bit scary

But I want you to know

I'll be okay now, Daddy

You can let go

I was standin' at the altar

Between the two loves of my life

To one I've been a daughter

To one I soon would be a wife

When the preacher asked,

'Who gives this woman?'

Daddy's eyes filled up with tears

He kept holdin' tightly to my arm

'Til I whispered in his ear

(Repeat Chorus)

It was killin' me to see

The strongest man I ever knew

Wastin' away to nothin'

In that hospital room

'You know he's only hangin' on for you'

That's what the night nurse said

My voice and heart were breakin'

As I crawled up in his bed, and said

You can let go now, Daddy

You can let go

Your little girl is ready

To do this on my own

It's gonna be a little bit scary

But I want you to know

I'll be okay now, Daddy

You can let go

You can let go

The song that I played at the service was

Thank YouBy Johnny Reid

If I only had, two words left to say to you.

With my last breath I'd come face the truth to you.

You've never left my side, even when I fell behind.

Thank-you, thank-you for the life you've given me.

Thank-you for sharing all your love and all your dreams.

Thank-you for every tear of happiness I've cried.

Thank-you for laying down beside me here tonight.

When I close my eyes, I say a prayer for one more day with you.

And when I wake, I embrace the one who pulls me though.

Who pulls me through the storm when I can't go on.

Thank-you, thank-you for the life you've given me.

Thank-you for sharin' all your love and your dreams.

Thank-you, for every tear of happiness I've cried.

Thank-you for layin' down beside me here tonight.

You've never let me down.

Its like you don't know how.

Thank-you, thank-you for the life you've given me.

Thank-you, for sahrin all your love and all your dreams.

Thank-you.

Thank-you.

Dear Ones,

This beautiful song was written by Kathy Cochran, who believes the lyrics were given to her spiritually as a way "to reassure all of you that your loved one is happy and safe on the other side, and for you to know that you will be together again." You can read the story behind the song at Kathy's Web site, www.SpiritLyric.com, where you can also listen to it performed by vocalist Tiffany Coburn: Until We're Together Again.

Vocal by Tiffany Coburn

Some believe

A star shining brightly in the heavens

Represents the love of someone they can't see

Others feel

The butterfly dancing in their garden

Is a symbol of a spirit flying free

But when a gentle breeze caresses your hair

Or you see an eagle soar in the air

Should you smile and remember me in prayer

Oh, I will be there

(chorus)

There's no need to say good-bye

One day we'll be together

Remember me and smile

I'm in your heart forever

I'll feel the love you send

Until we're together again

Close your eyes

You'll find me sailing in the sunset

Riding waves of bluest oceans ever seen

Holding hands

Of all the others here before me

My head upheld to hear the angels sing

I can do all the things I've always dreamed of

I'll be watching over you from above

Don't worry about me because

I brought along all your love

(chorus)

There's no need to say good-bye

One day we'll be together

Remember me and smile

I'm in your heart forever

I'll feel the love you send

Until we're together again

It doesn't matter where you are

My love will shine upon you from that star

Like the butterfly, now I'm free

Ascending through the sky peacefully

(final chorus)

There's no need to say good-bye

One day we'll be together

Remember me and smile

I'm in your heart forever

I'll feel the love you send

All the love you send

And you hold on to the love I send

Until we're together again

We'll be together again
