A deep and somber song that paints the image of a man’s dying requests for his loved ones. May it be a lover, a wife, perhaps even offspring. Maybe all of the above. A classic pattern of melody, refrain, chorus, repeat. A haunting arrangement that can draw the deepest of emotions out of the most...
[Verse 1]
Bury my heart in a willow tree
The branches give rise to the lowest leaves
Find shelter and shade in my arms
Once I am gone don't mourn for me
I hope you take pride in what I used to be
Let go of all your pain
[Chorus]
Will you remember me when I'm gone?
Or will you forget all, all that I've done?
[Verse 2]
I've made mistakes that I can't take back
I'm just a man both good and bad
Can you forgive all my wrongs?
[Chorus]
Will you remember me when I'm gone?
And can you forgive all, all my wrongs?
[Bridge]
Memories may fade
But what we create may stay
Time holds the key of fate
Only time can reveal the gate
[Chorus]
Will you remember me when I'm gone?
Or will you forget all, all that I've done?
[Outro]
Memories may fade
But what we create may stay
Time holds the key of fate
Only time can reveal the gate
