Memorial Videos
My brother Joe spent countless hours putting together one long (15 minute) video tribute to Patrick which was shown at Pat’s funeral reception. I will attempt to post that video–in 4 parts–here.
River of Love
Sam Phillips
There’s a river of love that runs through all times
There’s a river of grief that floods through our lives
It starts when a heart is broken in two
By the thief of belief in anything that’s true
But there’s a river of love that runs through all times
There’s a river of love that runs through all times
There’s a river of tears that flows through our eyes
We fight through the night for freedom as it fades
Into a jail where we fail every time we make a break
But there’s a river of love that runs through all times
I had to run before I knew how to crawl
The first step was hard but I have had trouble with them all
But now the night grows darker and the day grows dim
‘Cause I know I never will see you again
And I almost made you happy
There’s a river of love that runs through all times
There’s a river of fire that burns with no light
The flame is the pain of dreams gone up in smoke
From the lies we deny and we breathe until we choke
There’s a river of love that runs through all times
With My Own Two Hands
Ben Harper
I can change the world
With my own two hands
Make a better place
With my own two hands
Make a kinder place
With my own two hands
With my own
With my own two hands
I can make peace on earth
With my own two hands
I can clean up the earth
With my own two hands
I can reach out to you
With my own two hands
With my own
With my own two hands
Im gonna make it a brighter place
Im gonna make it a safer place
Im gonna help the human race
With my own
With my own two hands
I can hold you
With my own two hands
I can comfort you
With my own two hands
But you got to use
Use your own two hands
Use your own
Use your own two hands
With our own
With our own two hands
With my own
With my own two hands
Have Heart My Dear
Snow Patrol
I’ll sing it one last time for you
Then we really have to go
You’ve been the only thing that’s right
In all I’ve done
And I can barely look at you
But every single time I do
I know we’ll make it anywhere
Away from here
Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I’ll be right beside you dear
Louder louder
And we’ll run for our lives
I can hardly speak I understand
Why you can’t raise your voice to say
To think I might not see those eyes
Makes it so hard not to cry
And as we say our long goodbye
I nearly do
Light up…
Slower slower
We don’t have time for that
All I want is to find an easier way
To get out of our little heads
Have heart my dear
We’re bound to be afraid
Even if it’s just for a few days
Making up for all this mess
Beloved One
Ben Harper
We have both been here before
Knockin’ upon love’s door
Begging for someone to let us in
Knowing this we can agree to keep each other company
Never to go down that road again
My beloved one
My beloved one
Your eyes shine through me
You are so divine to me
Your heart has a home in mine
We won’t have to say a word
With a touch all shall be heard
When I search my hearth it’s you I find
My beloved one
My beloved one
My beloved one
You were meant for me
I believe you were sent to me
From the dreams trailing to my heart
Hold your body and close to me
You mean most to me
We will keep each other safe from harm
My beloved one
My beloved one
My beloved one
My beloved one
