Today is ( would have been ) my 25th anniversary. What a “gift” to me to find this song after such a long time! My husband was killed in a horriific accident at work, nearly 10 years ago.

Train Always Remember lyrics & video: Always remember I'm by your side Such a shame that you had to go So much more that I'd like to know So many things you forgot to show me. You'd always remember me Always remember me Always remember me Always remember me Led the pack Then off the track at the bend We learnt that all good things do truly Come to an end Dippers and trippers Paint on the walls Those were the days friend We had it all And these are the times I got so much more Always remember me Always remember me.
Someone picked this song and had it played at my husband’s memorial service. I still,to this day, do not know who did that, but it moved all of us to tears. I have had trouble finding it, as it is one of the “gregorian” hymns whose nos. I love that you posted exactly how to find it, listen to it and several versions of it, as well as how to find the lyrics and sheet music.
Thanks so much for helping to make this a brighter day! Very happy to find this story from Gennyfer H. About this origins of the Dances of Universal Peace verison! I’ve been a Dance leader for years, but this was the very first Dance I ever did and it has a unique and powerful place in my heart.
It’s what led me to pursue Dances of Universal Peace more, and to make them a major part of my life.I’ve been in touch with Gregory Norbet about the inspiration for the words, which I’ve heard attributed to Muktananda’s dying words to his followers.Gregory confirmed that these beautiful words are his, inspired from “meditating on the life and mission of Jesus. The refrain relates to the spirit of his preparing his followers for his leave-taking (his death).
Hence his words to reassure his followers that his love would be with them always.”I would love to be in touch with Gennyfer H. To find out more about the original melody of the Sufi song part. I’ve heard quite a few “versions” over the years, and would love to go back to the source. Is it be possible to reach her?Thanks!
Wonderful entry, thank you so much whomever’s hands guided me here tonight.Having just attended a fabulous weekend tantric workshop (Radical Ecstasy by Dossie Easton), I’ve been trying to track down this refrain that we sang in circle at parts of the journey over the weekend. It struck a chord with me, too.Thank you for enlightening me to the history, which my own research has verified as such:(part Catholic Hymn by Gregory Norbet, 16 years a Benedictine Monk)“All I ask of you is forever to remember me, as loving you”(and part Sufi Zikr “Ishq Allah”)Ishq Allah Mahabud LillahIt made me weep with joy, and does so again now. (not a Catholic or a dancer/singer!) doffs capDK. I love this song, but have only known the chorus. I learned it as a sufi dance.
We put one hand on the other person’s heart, and the other on top on the hand (the other person’s) on our own heart. We circled, singing the line (in English and the other), and then went to the next person in the circle.
It was beautiful. I then used it as a finish for a 40 hour training I used to do to help people learn ways to be with dying people. Then, I had a little bunny, named Trinabinabunny.
She was precious and stayed with me for seven wonderful years. I sang it to her over and over through tears as she died. It calmed her. I feel tears welling up just thinking of it. It is a heart opening song. Thank you David.

Some ask what are your labels for lifestyle.I reply in the Sufi Catholic who goes with creationd flow,i.e. The TAO.I knew the Sufis many decades ago a time to remember the Friend, the Beloved.20 years ago we use this song as a core part of our joyful Catholic marriage ceremony.After reflections /meditation on the deepest and highest meanings behind the words.It will continue until again used in my life celebration. Several probability analysis seem to indicate there’s about six years left in this mid 80’s mind-body that I leased for a brief while.It’s been a fun ride.
