Listening to Willy Nelson sing  “Remember Me,” I wondered if the song could be flipped 180 degrees to “I’ll Remember You.”  From a plea to be remembered, to a promise to remember. 

I’ll Remember You In the Cool Of Early Morning

Music: Remember Me When The Candlelights Are Gleaming by Scott Wiseman-1940

Sung by Willy Nelson, Bob Dylan and Joan Baez, et al

———————————-

I’ll remember you in the cool of early morning,

I’ll remember you at the close of another day,

And late at nignt, when the brightest stars are shining,

Sweetheart, I will remember you.

We met when you were young and oh so lovely,

With a spirit that was strong and brave and free,

There were other men who came around to court you,

But in the end, the one you chose was me.

I’ll remember you in the cool of early morning,

I’ll remember you at the close of another day,

And late at nignt, when the brightest stars are shining,

Sweetheart, I will remember you.

To share a love that would last forever,

Vows we made, on our wedding day,

But it’s not for us to know or own the future,

It is Fate, that has the final say.

Windblown rain, sweeping down the valley,

Orange sun, setting over the sea,

Rainbow following a morning shower,

Things you loved I’ll hold in memory.

I’ll remember you in the cool of early morning,

I’ll remember you at the close of another day,

And late at nignt, when the brightest stars are shining,

Sweetheart, I will remember you.

I’ll still remember you.
