about

The Song Will Remain
Words and music by Peter Knight, © SESAC 1996
From the original album sleeve notes for this song: “As we live, the essence of who we are is distilled in our own hearts. When we die we leave the essence of who we are in the hearts of those who have known us.”

lyrics

If I were a singer I'd sing you a song

A song that would live in your heart forever

I'd sing it loud and strong

Every single word


So that, when my life is over

And I ne’er see you again 

The singer may die but the song will remain


For all I have is gold and silver 

And such things so easy to find,

And that's all I have to leave you

When I leave you behind


But, if I were a singer I'd sing you a song

A song that would live in your heart forever

I'd sing it loud and strong

Every single word


So that when my life is over 

And I ne’er see you again 

The singer may die but the song will remain

Instrumental

So that when my life is over 

And I ne’er see you again

The singer may die but the song will remain
The singer may die but the song will remain
