Girl Remember
Oh Dearest, you can never know
What you mean to me
For I can never seem to
Find the right words to say
Girl remember, when we were
Young and spending hours at play
Remember when we wrote that
Book about things we loved
It seemed so easy to overcome
When it was just pretend
But now the stakes are so high
That’s why it feels so hard
And, oh, I don’t want to cry
May the Lord be a shield around you
May the heavens hear your cry
May you know how much He loves you
May he give you strength to believe
Keep pressing on, sweet girl
Girl remember when we would wake
To find the house full of light
Overflowing, with a chorus of Hallelujah
Girl remember, for that was like
The time which is to come
And now the stakes are so high
That’s why it feels so hard
I’ll hold you while we both cry
