Something to Remember – A Cherished Love Poem and Contemporary Song

By George Michael Bennett | georgemichaelbennett.com

From Silence to Song: A Testimony of Cherished Love and Regret

There are moments in life when silence becomes unbearable—when memory floods the room and the heart aches for what was lost. “Something to Remember” was born in one of those Cherished moments. It began as a poem written in solitude, a whispered plea to a love that slipped away. Now, it lives as a contemporary song—an offering for those who feel deeply, remember fiercely, and long to be held in music.

Lyrics: Something to Remember

I am sitting alone in this old house tonight,
With tears flowing down my cheeks.
I close my eyes and think about you.
The skies above are ablaze.
I miss you.

I wish I had paid more attention when
You needed me to wrap my arms around you
And hold your sorrow close.
I should have cherished you more.

I can still catch a whiff of your scent in the air.
I miss you; you were everything to me.
You will always hold a place in my soul.
I can still see your shadow
Standing there on the other side
Of the room.

I feel lost in time, lost in this empty space.
I close my eyes, a silent, whispered plea.

I wish I had paid more attention when
You needed me to wrap my arms around you
And hold your sorrow close.

I should have cherished you more, my love.
I miss you, my love, with every beat and breath.

I wish I’d stopped, just for a while,
Now regret is my enduring, heavy fate.
Should have cherished every single glance,
Before you slipped from my own careless hands.

I should have cherished you more, my love.
I miss you, my love, with every beat and breath.

I should have cherished you more, my love.
I miss you, my love, with every beat and breath.

I wish I had paid more attention when
You needed me to wrap my arms around you
And hold your sorrow close.

I can still catch a whiff of your scent in the air.
I miss you; you were everything to me.
You will always hold a place in my soul.
I can still see your shadow
Standing there on the other side
Of the room, my love.

I feel lost in time, lost in this empty space.
I close my eyes, a silent, whispered plea.
I am missing you.

The Story Behind the Song

This song was written in the quiet hours of reflection, when the weight of memory became melody. It’s not just about grief—it’s about the sacred act of remembering. The lyrics echo the voice of someone who wishes they had cherished more, held closer, loved deeper. It’s a universal ache, and yet deeply personal. George Michael Bennett composed this piece to honor that ache and transform it into healing.
