I'll Remember You

i'll remember you

when i've forgotten all the rest,

you to me were true,

you to me were the best.

when there is no more,

you cut to the core

quicker than anyone i knew.

when i'm all alone

in the great unknown,

i'll remember you.

i'll remember you

at the end of the trail,

i had so much left to do,

i had so little time to fail.

there's some people that

you don't forget,

even though you've only seen'm

one time or two.

when the roses fade

and i'm in the shade,

i'll remember you.

didn't i, didn't i try to love you?

didn't i, didn't i try to care?

didn't i sleep, didn't i weep beside you

with the rain blowing in your hair?

i'll remember you

when the wind blows through the piney wood.

it was you who came right through,

it was you who understood.

though i'd never say

that i done it the way

that you'd have liked me to.

in the end,

my dear sweet friend,

i'll remember you.
