WILL YOU REMEMBER

WILL YOU REMEMBER

We haven’t known each other very long,

But we’ve helped each other sing our song.

If there comes a time when you’re gone,

Is there a place in your mind that I belong?

Will you remember my kiss on your lips,

And the touch of my fingertips?

Will you remember the places that we went,

And all the great times that we spent?

When you think back, will you be sorry we met?

When you think of me, will your heart be full of regret?

From time to time will you smile and think of me?

Or will you pretend I never was and erase me from your memory?

Will you remember our first kiss,

Or will it be the last one that you miss?

Will you remember how things began,

Or will you only remember how things end?

 We’ve had some good times and for that I’m glad.

There’re times you’ve brought me up when I was sad.

Sometimes before you’ve really begun, things will disappear like the setting sun.

When this happens, all you have left is what you have done.

Will you remember how I touched your hair,

And how I touched you everywhere?

Will you remember the nibbles and pecks,

And the kisses on your ears and neck?

Will you remember the ebb that made you flow,

Or will you only remember what made you go?

Will you remember the feelings that made things start,

Or will you find someone else to fill your heart?

From the beginning, you had let me know

Not to get too close, because someday you’d have to go.

I listened to you sing that same ole tune,

And I believed you, I just didn’t think it would be so soon.
