I am looking for the name of a song that was sung at a recent catholic funeral mass that I attended. The words go as follows: “All I ask of you is forever to remember me as loving you”. Do you know this song, if so can you tell me the name and if you have the words to the complete song can you give them to me. Thank you

Hello. I am looking for a song that depicts a mother and daughter that were more like best friends. My mother-in-law will pass in the next day or two and I would like to find a song like this to play at the funeral. Any advise would be greatly appreciated.

Lyrics for “All I Ask”:
Refrain: All I ask of you is forever to remember me as loving you.
1. Deep the joy of being together in one heart
and for me that’s just where it is.
2. As we make our way through all the joys and pain,
can we sense our younger truer selves?
3. Someone will be calling you to be there for a while.
Can you hear the cry from deep within?
4. Laughter, joy and presence: the only gifts you are.
Have you time? I’d like to be with you.
5. Persons come into the fiber of our lives,
and then their shadow fades and disappears. But…

Hi. My friend recently died and his funeral should be coming up soon. he was a really talented musician and a man of God but things got on top of him and he ended up commiting suicide. I really want to sing something for him at his rememberance service but it needs to be quite sensative because of the circumstances. Can anyone suggest anything? Im a mezzo-sop btw. Thankz! Amy

Morning,
I watched the tribute to Jerry Falwell that aired at 10:30 am CST on Daystar Sept 23, 2007. There was a beautiful song playing the lyrics said” I can’t beleive I’m in heaven walking around on streets of gold. So don’t yearn for me. The chorus was I can’t believe . . .
Does anyone know the name of that song?
