I'll Remember You

I'll remember you
 When I've 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 I'm all alone
 In the great unknown,
 I'll remember you.
 I'll remember you
 At the end of the trail,
 I had so much left to do,
 I had so little time to fail.
 There's some people that
 You don't forget,
 Even though you've only seen'm
 One time or two.
 When the roses fade
 And I'm in the shade,
 I'll remember you.
 Didn't I, didn't I try to love you?
 Didn't I, didn't I try to care?
 Didn't I sleep, didn't I weep beside you
 With the rain blowing in your hair?
 I'll remember you
 When the wind blows through the piney wood.
 It was you who came right through,
 It was you who understood.
 Though I'd never say
 That I done it the way
 That you'd have liked me to.
 In the end,
 My dear sweet friend,
 I'll remember you
