about
We've lost a lot of family and friends over the years, including our parents and a good friend, Keith Miller, who took his own life. There are many songs about these losses, but this one includes them all. Including your own losses, and including William.
Though I sometimes call this, "Christmas music to get drunk by", William never intended "Unforgotten" to be depressing. Listen to it and think fondly back on the people you've known and loved, and enjoy the memories.
lyrics
UNFORGOTTEN
=============
Merriment and Mistletoe
Some of us got called home
And I'm right there with you
-- I'll never forget you
The chime of tiny silver bells
The sights, the sounds, the smells
Cinnamon scent and candle glow
-- I'll never forget you
Unforgotten friends shall live forever
In our memories
Holidays, every day and always
In our memories
Angels adorn the trees
Covered with lights and seasonal delights
Homemade cakes and handmade gifts
-- I'll never forget you
Family gathered 'round the tree
To celebrate the season in Love's glow
Where did all the seasons go?
-- I'll never forget you
Unforgotten friends shall live forever
In our memories
Holidays, every day and always
In our memories
[instrumental. Musical quotes from "Jingle Bells", "Carol of the Bells", "We Three Kings"]
And it's sometimes hard to take what has happened
It must be the gift of caring that preserves the memories
Unforgotten friends shall live forever
Unforgotten friends --
Unforgotten friends shall live forever
In our memories
(I remember you)
[instrumental outro. Musical quotes from "Carol of the Bells", "We Three Kings"]
