Remember Me

Now together we lie so tightly entwined
encouraged by the light of a pale moon
And how cruel it seems that our time should be
so very brief and over so very soon
Yes I believe I'll be leaving after tonight
and all I could ask is that you try
To remember me, remember me honestly
and thank me for the good times we've had
and then bury me, then bury me modestly
and darling don't you dare forget the bad
and if you tell of me, then tell of me properly
don't let those roses grow in your eyes
just remember me, remember me honestly
don't make me in death what I never was in life
Remember me, remember me honestly
and thank me for the good times we had
and then bury me, bury me modestly
and darling don't you dare forget the bad
and if you tell of me, then tell of me properly
don't let those roses grow in your eyes
just remember me, remember me honestly
don't make me in death what I never was in life
And the dream of forever, it will be over forever
severed by the hands of the clock
And just as the stars will fade with the breaking of day
I'll be on my way carried by the dark
So hold me close one more time
and then let me go and don't you cry
Just remember me, remember me honestly
and thank me for the good times we had
and then bury me, bury me modestly
and darling don't you dare forget the bad
and if you tell of me, then tell of me properly
don't let those roses grow in your eyes
just remember me, remember me honestly
don't make me in death what I never was in life
Just remember me, remember me honestly
and thank me for the good times we had
and then bury me, bury me modestly
and darling don't you dare forget the bad
and if you tell of me, then tell of me properly
don't let those roses grow in your eyes
just remember me, remember me honestly
don't make me in death what I never was in life
Don't make me in death what I never was in life
