I posted the lyrics over in the lyric forum and they suggested I post the mp3. It's just me and my piano, though. Seems like most people have fully produced songs, so I hope it's kosher. Remembering The song will start automatically. Remembering I had just turned 10 when I saw the wall, And I asked my dad what all the names were for. My dad said "Son, they're for remembering." Waving high in the air I saw the red, white, and blue, And I asked my dad if it was special too. My dad said "Son, it's for remembering." I looked up at my daddy's face And I wondered what it was about this place My big strong dad's eyes fill up with tears, And he held me like he'd done for all his years And he wouldn't let go. No, he couldn't let go. 'Cuz he was remembering. He was remembering. I grew up and I went off to life, Found a real nice job and found a real nice wife But I always called home, just for remembering. A couple kids of my own brought my dad to town, And when Grandpa talked all the boys sat down To hear when he was young--He was remembering. He said, "When I was young my daddy had to leave, He put a uniform on and sailed out to sea. My momma and me we really missed him bad, And all night long I held a picture of dad." "And I wouldn't let go. No I couldn't let go 'Cuz I was remembering. I was remembering." Bridge. "He loved his wife, and he loved his life. But he loved his country, too. When a man is called to serve, It’s what a man has got to do." He said, "A soldier with a flag came to our door, And I asked my momma what it was for. My momma said "Son, it’s for remembering." She said, "Your daddy's gone, he won't be coming home, But he sent you this for your very own So you won't cry. So you'll remember him." The grandsons' bedtime was coming soon, But their grandpa had one more thing to do. He took his boys in his arms and held them tight, Kissed them on the head and said "Goodnight." And he wouldn't let go. No, he couldn't let go. 'Cuz he was remembering. He was remembering.
