We’ll Remember You
Intro: C G C G
Verse 1: C G
Remembering photographs from your youth

Growing up a little shy and aloof

Your two brothers always close by your side

Being raised with Greek American pride.
Verse 2: C G
That mandolin, it never captured your heart
G7 C
But playing music helped you get a good start
C G
Remembering you always wanted to dance
G7 C
Who knew one day it would lead to romance
Chorus 1:F C
We’ll remember, sipping tea you’d brew
F G
While gazing at the garden that you grew
G C
Oh We’ll remember, You

Our home tradition cultures merge from two

Working hard each and every day

You helped us all to find a better way

All those crazy times that would unfold

Were treasured gifts we share and still can hold

Coping with, the trials that we went through

Oh We’ll remember, You
