“Remember Me This Way” – performed by Jordan Hill
Every now and then
We find a special friend
Who never lets us down
Who understands it all
Reaches out each time you fall
You’re the best friend that I’ve found
I know you can’t stay
A part of you will never ever go away
Your heart will stay
I’ll make a wish for you
And hope it will come true
That life would just be kind
To such a gentle mind
If you lose your way
Think back on yesterday
I don’t need eyes to see
The love you bring to me
No matter where I go
And I know that you’ll be there
Forever more a part of me, you’re everywhere
I’ll always care
And I’ll be right behind your shoulder watching you
I’ll be standing by your side and all you do
And I won’t ever leave
As long as you believe
You just believe
I’ll make a wish for you
And hope it will come true
That life would just be kind
To such a gentle mind
If you lose your way
Think back on yesterday
Remember me this way
Remember me this way
The song “Remember Me This Way” was performed by Jordan Hill and it was written by David Foster and Linda Thompson. The piece is a very popular choice among mourning families who have deceased members.
This is definitely a song that can bring tears from the audience during cremation services because it talks about your deceased loved one watching over you even if he already physically departed from the family.
When someone you love leaves you because of death, you always want to remember that person on a positive note. The lyrics of the song say that the souls of the departed loved ones also want the people and their families to remember them for the good persons that they have become.
They want to be remembered as individuals who have always been there for you through thick and thin. And that they want you to know that this relationship will never change. They will still be with you as you go through life.
Even though the song says ‘best friend’, this can still be applicable to a family member who was very close to you when he was still alive. This line, “I will never leave, as long as you believe” may cause your eyes to be teary because it shows the importance of faith in this relationship.
