"Will You Remember Me?" lyrics
Rufus Wainwright & Pacific Jazz Orchestra Lyrics
Oh, love, will you keep me in mind
When they've taken your life away
When your voice goes back to the wind
And the light goes out of your day?
Though they dismember you
I shall remember you
Till the hair on my head is thinned
And my lips are gray
But when you're but a memory
Will you, can you remember me?
Oh, love, when my eyes are gone blind
And the moss on my stone is gray
And the worms on my corpse have dined
In the dark of the sunken clay
Though they dismember me
Still I remember thee
Till your figure is bent and thinned
In a far-off day
But when I'm but a memory
Still then, even then
Will you remember me?
When they've taken your life away
When your voice goes back to the wind
And the light goes out of your day?
Though they dismember you
I shall remember you
Till the hair on my head is thinned
And my lips are gray
But when you're but a memory
Will you, can you remember me?
Oh, love, when my eyes are gone blind
And the moss on my stone is gray
And the worms on my corpse have dined
In the dark of the sunken clay
Though they dismember me
Still I remember thee
Till your figure is bent and thinned
In a far-off day
But when I'm but a memory
Still then, even then
Will you remember me?
