Think of Me with Kindness Lyrics
Why am I using words, no more to say without you
Close the door, put out the lights and go
Late in the night, in the night your shadow falls between us
Nevermore, never know
There, memories are sorrow,
When there's no tomorrow
Sleep while the sweet sorrow wakes my daydream;
Sleep while you think of me with kindness, please remember former days
Sweet the song that once we sang, the silent parting ways
And you know, and you know,
And you know, long ago when we first made our promise -
Empty words, I wonder did you know -
The laugh that love could not forgive
Is gone and tells no more to live
And we who look in beauty's love;
Must now, through all, look back on before -
The tears that first I cried, no more;
Your love has come and gone, no more
And we who look in beauty's love
Must now through all think back on before
Sleep while the sweet sorrow wakes my daydream;
Sleep while you think of me with kindness, please remember former days
And you know, and you know
And you know, when we two parted in tears and silence
Past the days, the parting ways
Fare thee well, fare thee well, you that was once dear to me
Think of me with kindness
Think of me
Close the door, put out the lights and go
Nevermore, never know
There, memories are sorrow,
When there's no tomorrow
Sleep while you think of me with kindness, please remember former days
Sweet the song that once we sang, the silent parting ways
And you know, long ago when we first made our promise -
Empty words, I wonder did you know -
Is gone and tells no more to live
And we who look in beauty's love;
Must now, through all, look back on before -
Your love has come and gone, no more
And we who look in beauty's love
Must now through all think back on before
Sleep while you think of me with kindness, please remember former days
And you know, and you know
And you know, when we two parted in tears and silence
Past the days, the parting ways
Think of me with kindness
Think of me

Another Minnear masterpiece... I believe this piece was written by Kerry while still in attendance at the Royal Academy of Music. Although it's more than likely a song about a broken love relationship, it has taken on a different meaning for me ever since a relative of mine described it as his own, personal "farewell" to a close friend who had passed away. This made me think differently about the "parted in tears & silence".
The song is particularly moving when the Shulman bros. first present their horn section.
Khaos I can see the connection to losing a loved one. Beautiful song and a great farewell for anyone to have how has loved or been loved.
Thanks for the other background info too Khaos.
