I am a songwriter with an original song I wrote for my grandfather’s funeral, but I was too choked up to sing it!
Of all the songs on my album, this one sells the most, and I didn’t expect that! When people hear it at funerals (it has been used often to open the service, and then the officiant uses it as a lead in), they usually want a copy. It is a non-religious, past-present-future song that is uplifting. The basic chorus is: “We loved you, we miss you, and we’ll always remember you.”
You have a great list, and I would be honored if you would include it.
Thank you,
Kelly Domino
Lyrics
We gather together with heavy hearts, each with our memories of you
Some here are family, some here are friends, and some here you never even knew
If you somehow can hear us, know that we care and know that your memory lives on
We loved you, we miss you and we’ll always remember you
Oh, we loved you, we miss you and we’ll always remember you
Those who are gathered must carry on, and we pledge to help each other through
We think of you often and good times we had, once this pain has subdued.
If you somehow can hear us, know that we care and know that your memory lives on
We loved you, we miss you and we’ll always remember you
Oh, we loved you, we miss you and we’ll always remember you
If you somehow can hear us, know that we care and know that your memory lives on.
We loved you, we miss you and we’ll always remember you
Oh, we loved you, we miss you and we’ll always remember you (repeat)
We loved you we miss you but we’ll always remember you
We’ll carry on
We’ll hold your memories dear
We’ll carry on together
To love you and miss you and remember you
We miss you already but we always will always will remember you.

Beautiful
We love this song. We chose it for my mums funeral. She was not religious and the words summed up our feelings.
