In Memory Of (Paul Miller 1964

He was alive, yes, he wasn't dead
Well remembered man
His life was taken like a sudden breath
That simply wasn't planned
And all that's left to say
Written on his grave
It says in memory of
In memory of
In memory of
In memory of
This is dedicated to
In all the lessons of friendship
He was never cold or sad
He tried so hard as he struggled in
What little time he had
No more returned to home
Because written on his stone
It says in memory of
In memory of
In memory of
In memory of
This is dedicated to
In memory of
In memory of
In memory of
In memory of
This is dedicated to
Now he's gone and all that's left behind
Is his legacy
In the pages of a magazine
Left in time to read
All that's left behind
A memory of his life
The only thing that's said
It's written at the head
It says in memory of
In memory of
In memory of
In memory of
This is dedicated to
