Chuck Perrin

remember me
darling please
promise me you will

print my love in the center of your being
never let it go
I will always be with you
even though I’ve gone away

if you look you can see my breath
misting through the early chill of dawn
or catch my scent
in the first fresh morning breeze
I will be the tall oak tree
always there
watching over you

print my love in the center of your being
never let it go
I will always be with you
even though I’ve gone away

you can taste my kiss
in each drop of spring rain
or feel my warmth
if you dig your hands deep down
into the rich summer earth
you will see my face
shape-shifting through the clouds
as you lay back
daydreaming in the afternoon

remember me
darling please
promise me you will

print my love in the center of your being
never let it go
I will always be with you
even though I’ve gone away

listen carefully
to the chanting thrum of the sounds of night
for I will be whispering my pledge of love
over and over
and winking at you with the stars
beaming down from the midnight sky

print my love in the center of your being
never let it go
I will always be with you
even though I’ve gone away

remember me
darling please
promise me . . .
