remember me

 


A brighter face may take my place when we're apart dearAnother love with a heart more bold and freeBut in the end fair weather friends may break your heart dearIf they do, sweetheart remember me

Remember me when the candle lights're gleaming

Remember me at the close of a long, long dayAnd it would be so sweet when all alone I'm dreamingJust to know you still remember meJust to know you still remember me

Tell me on a sunday

 


Don't run off in the pouring rain

Don't call me as they call your planeTake the hurt out of all the painTake me to a park that's covered with treesTell me on a Sunday, please

closer to the bone


 Heading for the highway Rolling like a river

Soaring like an eagle Skippin' like a stoneComin' from the heartbeat Nothin' but the truth nowEverything is sweeter CLOSER TO THE BONE-

the old woman in me




 The old woman in me, she don't wanna go back in time

Thinks her '50s might have been her prime, says don't give up on that man of mineShe's good at listening, says kiss 'em every time a kid walks inRemember what your heart is for and you won't have to ask for more
She's a no-regret-er, yeah, a good forgiver, yeahAnd where she's worn around the edges, go on and let her beShe's peace in a housedress, I'm a work in progressI hope someday I get to be the old woman in me

souvenirs

 


Broken hearts and dirty windowsMake life difficult to seeThat's why last night and this morningAlways look the same to meAnd I hate reading old love lettersFor they always bring me tearsI can't forgive the way they robbed meOf my sweetheart's souvenirs

Death Don’t Have No Mercy”.



"Well, Death will go in any family in this land
Well, Death will go in every family in this land
Well, he'll come to your house and he won't stay long
Well, you'll look in the bed and one of your family will be gone
Death will go in any family in this land"


 Death Don’t Have No Mercy”. Reverend Gary David

dirty trick


 And at the dinner table

It's my parents and meI sneak looks at the two of themTo see what they need from me
And later she calls me overWhere she sits aloneShe's polishing a silver ringI've never seen before
She says this was Molly'sIt was her mother's ringI'm keeping it for youAs she kept it for me
Oh, it's time to goOh, it's time to goIt's a dirty trick this growing old

Song for Molly- Lucy Kaplansky
