lyrics

I’ll always remember the lullabies you sang to me as I fought off sleep.
When you didn’t know the words, you’d just hum along.
Oh, what beautiful songs.

I’ll hold onto these memories and keep smiling
‘Cause I know you’ll always be with me.

“’Til then” is all I’ll say for I know this isn’t “Goodbye”.
We’ve had so many days but time never seems enough;
It always slips away from us.

And so I’ll hold on to our memories of yesterday
And keep smiling despite the rain.

I know wherever I go you’ll be with me.
I know wherever I go you’ll be.
Forever I’ll remember those last words you saved for me.

“’Til then” is all I’ll say. I know this isn’t “Goodbye”.
I’ll sing you, I’ll sing you lullabies
‘Til we meet again at the gates of Heaven.
Daddy, I promise to hold onto the memories.
And, when I’m missing you I’ll close my eyes
And hum along with lullabies.
