Remember

You taught me kindness and devotion Which words to hide and which to say You taught me order and precision My thoughts should never go astray You said you hope you raised me right Now I'm independent to decide You said you hope I hold my kite Standing firmly on the ground Can you see what I've become? Are you pleased with what I've done? Have I learned your lessons well? Tell me through the ringing Of that distant bell I'll remember I'll remember Always Next day I saw you pulling down A little boat into the tide You said - there's only room for me, my son It's meant to be a lonely ride I've done enough, I've said enough Now please allow me to depart No matter where I'm gonna be You and me will never be apart Can you see what I've become? Are you pleased with what I've done? Have I learned your lessons well? Tell me through the ringing Of that distant bell I'll remember I'll remember Always
