Remembrance Lyrics

I remember that night in the London streets

In the fog and the rain I had fallen to my knees

You helped me back up when I couldn't even stand

Saying keep your head held high if you wanna be a man

I remember that day just like yesterday

And there's nothing that I have that I wouldn't give away

In exchange for one chance just to see you again

I'd take my own life for you my friend

Tonight we're gonna sing a song for our fallen friends

What I wouldn't give to see your face again

Tonight we're gonna drink them down in remembrance

Of the best of times the worst of times

For those whose lives are now past tense

I remember how it felt when the feeling first hit

Got the news that you were gone and I couldn't deal with it

I started thinking about some things and I knew I'd never find

Anything as valuable as your life was to mine

Now that you're gone I can't help but ask

Is there anything I could give to get you back

Left all alone without you by my side

You're gone but not forgotten in my heart tonight

Tonight we're gonna sing a song for our fallen friends

What I wouldn't give to see your face again

Tonight we're gonna drink them down in remembrance

Of the best of times the worst of times

For those whose lives are now past tense

When your heroes become mortal and you've seen them to the grave

A certain sense of emptiness comes coursing through your veins

Now they live through remembrance still with us today

It's up to us here and now to honor their memory

Tonight we're gonna sing a song for our fallen friends

What I wouldn't give to see your face again

Tonight we're gonna drink them down in remembrance

Of the best of times the worst of times

For those whose lives are now past tense
