Intro: G C G G6 G
The sweetest songs,
G C G
Belong to lovers in the gloaming,
D7 G
The sweetest days are the days that used to be,
G
The saddest words I ever heard,
C G
Were words of parting,
D7/F# G
When you said "Sweetheart, remember me."
G6 C G
Remember me when the candle lights are gleaming,
D7 G
Remember me at the close of a long, long day,
C G
It would be so sweet when all alone I'm dreaming,
D7/F# G
Just to know you still remember me.
C G
You told me once that you were mine alone forever,
D C G
And I was yours 'till the end of eternity,
C G
But all our vows are broken now and you will never,
C7 D7/F# G
Be the same except in memory.
G6 C G
Remember me when the candle lights are gleaming,

Remember me at the close of a long, long day,

Just to know you still remember me.

G
A brighter face,
C G
May take my place when we're apart, dear,
D7 G
A sweeter smile, a love more bold and free,
G
But in the end,
C G
Fair weather friends may break your heart, dear,
D7/F# G
If they do, sweetheart, remember me.
G6 C G
Remember me when the candle lights are gleaming,
D7/F# G
Remember me at the close of a long, long day,
C G
It would be so sweet when all alone I'm dreaming,
D7/F# G
Just to know you still remember me,
D7/F# G
Just to know you still remember me.
