You Will Be Remembered You will be remembered when the flowers bloom in spring In the summertime remembered In the fun that summer brings You will be remembered When fall brings leaves of gold In the wintertime, remembered, in the stories that are told And you will be remembered, each day right from the start For the memories that we once shared Forever live within my heart
