He Remembered Every Name

Lyrics

[Verse 1] There's a chair by the window Where the morning used to sit An old familiar echo Of the laughter we all miss He had an answer waiting For every question asked A story from the old days Woven into the past [Chorus] And oh, Bob, you walked the extra mile Never met a stranger, gave the world your smile You said the story didn't matter Long as you remembered the names Now we hold your light forever And the love that still remains [Verse 2] The tales all sounded the same, friend But we listened just the same 'Cause it was never 'bout the details It was always 'bout the name If he had the means to help you He would give and never count A faith that moved him quietly More than words could say aloud [Chorus] And oh, Bob, you walked the extra mile Never met a stranger, gave the world your smile You said the story didn't matter Long as you remembered the names Now we hold your light forever And the love that still remains [Bridge] Heaven gained a storyteller With a grin we all still know Every kindness that you planted Keeps on growing as we go [Verse 3] So we'll carry all your stories Tell them slow around the fire Keep your name upon our lips And your goodness in the choir You believed and you belonged To something bigger than us all And your legacy keeps singing Every time we hear the call [Chorus] And oh, Bob, you walked the extra mile Never met a stranger, gave the world your smile You said the story didn't matter Long as you remembered the names Now we hold your light forever And the love that still remains [Outro] Rest easy now, dear brother We remember every name
