Remember Me

Remember me when I'm gone my Love
Gone far away into that other world
Where our paths may never ever more meet
And we may never again ever greet

If you should forget me once in a while
Better you do so with a smile
And afterwards oh please don't fret
It's not as if we've never met

And if some sorrow is bestowed
And leaves you with thoughts that once you had,
Better ones remembered and make you sad
Than ones forgotten as if you never had
