REMEMBER ME !


All the hours, every night that I wish gone The faces in my dreams, I know it's you I miss you, the longing makes my heart cry Your last words cut through me It cuts through me I'm standing in the rain Just me alone And me wonder, I wonder Will you remember me one day When your world becomes empty around you Will you remember, will you remember me When love turns its back on you And you want to turn to a better life Will you remember Will you remember me I'm trying to forget , every picture has your name on it Your smile stays in me, you stay in me May my words leave a mark in your mind May I be there in your dreams In your dreams Tomorrow is also one day And my heart keeps hoping But I ask you , I ask you Will you remember me one day When your world becomes empty around you Will you remember, will you remember me When love turns its back on you And you want to turn to a better life Will you remember Will you remember me
