Remember Me
Lou Ann and I went to see the Disney Pixar film “Coco”. The movie is brilliant. As much as I love a good movie; I almost love movie making as much. Poco is one of the best made movies I have ever seen and I have seen thousands in my lifetime. Prior to the movie, Disney also shows a twenty minute film titled “Olaf’s Frozen Adventure”. Some folks were put off because they had to wait the twenty minutes before the feature. For Lou Ann and me it was just the opposite. We loved Olaf and the story line of Anna and Elsa discovering their love for each other was wonderful.
Both films were about family and had two wonderful songs which I will share with you here. First, from “Olaf’s Frozen Adventure” is “When We’re together”
[Elsa:] Sure, it’s nice to open a gift
That’s tied up with a perfect bow
[Anna:] But the greatest present of all
Was given to me long ago
[Elsa:] It’s something I would never trade
It’s the family that we’ve made
[Anna:] ‘Cause when we’re together
I have everything on my list
[Elsa:] And when we’re together
I have all I wished
[Anna:] All around the Christmas tree
There’ll be dreams coming true
[Elsa:] But when we’re together
Then my favorite gift is you
[Both:] I would travel miles and miles
And I would follow any star
I’d go almost any place
If it’s any place you are
[Elsa:] ‘Cause when we’re together
[Anna:] When we’re together
[Elsa:] I’ll forever feel at home
And when we’re together
[Anna:] When we’re together
[Elsa:] We’ll be safe and warm
[Both:] Doesn’t matter where we are
If you’re there with me
[Elsa:] ‘Cause when we’re together
That’s my favorite place
[Both:] To be
‘Cause when we’re together
[Elsa:] It’s a holiday every night
[Both:] And when we’re together
Then the season’s bright
[Elsa:] I don’t need the bells to ring
[Anna:] I don’t need the bells
[Elsa:] I’ll know when it’s here
[Anna:] I’ll know when it’s here
[Elsa:] ‘Cause when we’re together
[Both:] I could stay forever
And when we’re together
[Anna, Elsa and Olaf:] It’s my favorite time of year
It reminds me that we don’t need the season or the bells or anything else to be better than just being together. Because when we are together life is wonderful. And even if we are far away, we are still together in our hearts which is the theme of “Remember Me” from “Coco”. Here are some of the lyrics:
Remember me
Though I have to say goodbye
Remember me
Don’t let it make you cry
For even if I’m far away I hold you in my heart
I sing a secret song to you each night we are apart
Remember me
Though I have to travel far
Remember me
Each time you hear a sad guitar
Know that I’m with you the only way that I can be
Until you’re in my arms again
Remember me
If you close your eyes and let the music play
Keep our love alive, I’ll never fade away
If you close your eyes and let the music play
Keep our love alive, I’ll never fade away
If you close your eyes and let the music play
Keep our love alive, I’ll never fade away
Remember me
For I will soon be gone
Remember me
And let the love we have live on
And know that I’m with you the only way that I can be
So until you’re in my arms again
Remember me!
For many of us, one of the most important things in life is to be remembered. And hopefully, to be remembered with love. Even though we may spend a lot of time, energy and money creating a legacy. Our greatest legacy is to be remembered with love. When people think of us it would be great if it warmed their hearts. So, instead of creating more stuff maybe we could create more heart connection. And when it comes our time to leave this Earth, there will be a celebration for how much we loved! From my heart full of love to yours, Thomas
PS—Go see “Coco”, you won’t regret it!
