I'll Remember You

ill remember you
when ive forgotten all the rest,
you to me were true,
you to me were the best.
when there is no more,
you cut to the core
quicker than anyone i knew.
when im all alone
in the great unknown,
ill remember you.
ill remember you
at the end of the trail,
i had so much left to do,
i had so little time to fail.
theres some people that
you dont forget,
even though youve only seenm
one time or two.
when the roses fade
and im in the shade,
ill remember you.
didnt i, didnt i try to love you?
didnt i, didnt i try to care?
didnt i sleep, didnt i weep beside you
with the rain blowing in your hair?
ill remember you
when the wind blows through the piney wood.
it was you who came right through,
it was you who understood.
though id never say
that i done it the way
that youd have liked me to.
in the end,
my dear sweet friend,
ill remember you.
