(Remember me, remember me)

(Remember for the rest of your life)
|
|
Oh when I was a young boy
|
And drove my mother wild
|
I met a maiden in the woods
|
And she said, "Child,
|
|
Look deep into my green eyes
|
And at my autumn hair
|
When your a man you'll never see
|
A girl quite as fair
|
|
Remember me, oh, remember me"
|
|
(Remember for the rest of your life)
|
|
Her eyes were green as grassy pools
|
Lookin' right at me
|
Her hair was red and grown with leaves
|
Just like an autumn tree
|
|
She moved her tiny hands
|
And she made a litle turn
|
She swayed in the wind
|
Just like a graceful fern
|
|
I swore as she vanished
|
That when I was full grown
|
I'd have a girl just like her
|
To be my very own
|
|
And now I am a man
|
And I'd marry if I could
|
But I can't lose the memory
|
Of the girl in the wood
|
|
Remember me oh remember me
|
(Remember)
|
Remember for the rest of your life
|
(Remember)
|
|
I wished a hundred times
|
That she'd never looked at me
|
With the first wild beauty
|
That only you can't see
|
|
For man cannot find it
|
When he's lookin for a wife
|
And he'll end up in bachelorhood
|
The rest of his life
|
|
Remember me, oh, remember me
|
Remember for the rest of your life
|
Remember me, remember me
|
|
Remember for the rest of your life
