Memories & Dreams - by Gwen Knibbs

Memories and dreams
So clear in your head
All the hurt and pain in your eyes
Don't tell me you're okay
Because I know you are not
I know one day you will
Be okay again

Fallen friends
And dying men
They are all your family
Never knew your heart
Would still ache like this
Listen to me as I say
You will be okay one day

Restless nights
You wonder
Recalling those days
Don't you see today?
Not yesterday
I'm here and you are safe
In my arms

Fallen friends
And dying men
They are all your family
Never knew your heart
Would still ache like this
Listen to me as I say
You will be okay one day

You were just a name and number
To the army and the world
But you mean more than that to me
You are my hero
You are the one who
Made my dreams take flight
Without you my life
Would be incomplete
Daddy dear don’t you worry
I'll be at your side forever more
