about

My sister died flying her own small plane. It took me several years before I could write this song. The words "I'll remember you" are a dirge followed by the bridge, which is a lament.

lyrics

Flying up where the air is clear
Climbing into the blue
Smiling without a thing to fear
I'll remember you
I'll remember you.

And if sometimes I wasn't there
Still I tried to take your part
If you thought I didn't care
Still you broke my heart

Wanting what you couldn't even name
Crying out tears of rage
Reaching to grasp it just the same
I'll remember you
I'll remember you

And then one day you flew away
Climbing into the setting sun
Night gently following the day
Looking for the lights to show the way

You were so close and yet so far
Landing lights lit up in view
Falling just like a falling star
I'll remember you
I'll remember you

Oh my sister oh so sad and brave'
Oh so foolish and so wise
I could love you but I could not save
Your life or see it through your eyes

Chaim Bezalel Stanwood, Washington

My mother had a collection of 78 rpm records of folk music and I became a folk music lover from a young age. I attended festivals and concerts, sat with Libba Cotten when she sang Freight Train. I learned to pick sitting in Washington Square as a teenager. However, I did not begin writing songs until my 50's. I am also a poet and artist. I live in Wasnhington State and in Israel. ... more
