She's building a quilt for Christopher (Apricot and Floral Rose)

For her niece's newborn baby, patches from the bridesmaid's bows.

Bringing all the bright emotions from this bolt of family.

Baby's Blocks and Auntie's Favourites. 'Please remember me.'

She's Building a Teddy Bear for Brook with patches from her uniform

Calico for childhood friends to leave their messages upon

When those days of school are over that Bear will hold her history

(What was it Anita wrote there?) 'Please remember me'

Chorus: There are stories in these stitches,

painstakingly tied; Bound with love and pride.

They're the pieces of the patchwork in the quilts we call our lives.|

We are all unfinished projects;

Twists and Texas stars; separate from our hearts,

Till we're gathered up and bound with love

and taken home at last.

 

May this quilt bequeath you comfort;

Keep you warm and free from harm

When you take it's folds around you I will hold you in my arms

When we're somewhat old and faded as we're someday bound to be

Rest your hands where mine have laboured. 'Please remember me.'

 

 

Chorus: There are stories in these stitches,

painstakingly tied; Bound with love and pride.

They're the pieces of the patchwork in the quilts we call our lives.|

We are all unfinished projects;

Twists and Texas stars; separate from our hearts,

Till we're gathered up and bound with love

and taken home at last.
