Story

2009 was a rough year. I think I went to more funerals in that one year than in the past ten combined. One thing that really hit me was how hard it is to find something to say to people who are mourning the person they just lost. I never knew what to say, so I just repeated same the old adage, "Sorry for your loss." But those words seemed very incomplete and hollow.

I wanted to write a song that said what I couldn’t put into words. This song is about remembering those you have lost and celebrating their memory. When you lose someone, remember-- they're only a memory away!

Lyrics

Take another step toward the light

We are gathered here to celebrate your life

Endless rows of flowers represent the life you gave

From the lives you touched in oh so many ways

I can’t believe you’re gone

Minnesota got cold colder today

But all the tears I cry they won't wash away

Smiles we shared and mountains that we moved

these memories keep me walking with you.... and you feel so alive

Pictures cast a sunlight they warm this cold and empty space

they record your beaming face on your happiest days

You made your difference you showed us what it means to be alive

Hugging every moment before they walk on by

I can’t believe you’re gone

Minnesota got cold colder today

but all the tears I cry they won't wash away

smiles we shared and mountains that we moved

these memories keep me walking with you.... and you feel so alive

if you were right now i know what you would say

life is for the living, don't cry over me

we'll meet again sometime and we'll laugh it all away

But for now, I'm in better place, better place

Minnesota got cold colder today

but all the tears I cry they won't wash away

smiles we shared and mountains that we moved

these memories keep me walking with you.... and you feel so aliveStory

Take another step toward the light 
We are gathered here to celebrate your life 
Endless rows of flowers represent the life you gave 
From the lives you touched in oh so many ways 
I can’t believe you’re gone 
Minnesota got cold colder today 
But all the tears I cry they won't wash away 
Smiles we shared and mountains that we moved 
these memories keep me walking with you.... and you feel so alive 
Pictures cast a sunlight they warm this cold and empty space 
they record your beaming face on your happiest days 
You made your difference you showed us what it means to be alive 
Hugging every moment before they walk on by 
I can’t believe you’re gone 
Minnesota got cold colder today 
but all the tears I cry they won't wash away 
smiles we shared and mountains that we moved 
these memories keep me walking with you.... and you feel so alive 
if you were right now i know what you would say 
life is for the living, don't cry over me 
we'll meet again sometime and we'll laugh it all away 
But for now, I'm in better place, better place 
Minnesota got cold colder today 
but all the tears I cry they won't wash away 
smiles we shared and mountains that we moved 
these memories keep me walking with you.... and you feel so alive
