I'll Remember You
(Words & music by Salim Nourallah)

i first met you seven years ago
    charged up to me after one of our shows
you were so full of life
    how could I ever know?
your hair was short but mine still long
    said that you loved the carrousel song
you played it overseas
    while you were in the army

i'll remember you all my life
    i'll remember you all my life

said that you dreamed of havin' a band
    i kinda laughed, thought you were mad
i said i'd help you out
    if i got the chance
well, three years later went to see you play
    the disbelief written on my face
i was so proud of you
    you'd come such a long way

i'll remember you all my life
    i'll remember you all my life

you said
    "we're all gonna make it, make it right to the top"
and we all believed you were really that strong

i drove two hours to see you today
    alone in silence, no music played
thought of the times we shared
    how could they end this way?
sidney and leyton held their momma's hand
    they said good-bye to their dad
you weren't the quitting kind
    how could you quit on them?

i'll remember you all my life
    i'll remember you all my life
