Remember Our Love I was chosen today, I'm learning to fly The world took me away, but please don't cry. And I choose you today, to try to be strong So please don't you cry, and don't say that I'm gone. When your feeling alone, just remember our love, I'm up near the stars, looking down from above. Remember our love, in a moment you'll see That I'm still here beside you, when you're thinking of me. Julie Epp www.voyagefuneralhome.com
