Remember Me Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Remember me
Don't you forget me, child
We are all only here
Just for a little while
Do you remember the guy
That guy that you were dating?
He broke your heart now
And then you walked away
Oh yes, he did now
Oh yes, he did

[Verse 2]
You remember when you were sick
You were cripple and you were lame
I stood by your bedside
'Til you were on your feet again
Oh yes, I did now
Oh yes, I did

[Bridge]
Oh, somewhere, oh, down the line
You're gonna see this little heart of mine
Is so loyal, so wonderful, and so true
Oh now, somewhere
Brighter days you're gonna see
What a big mistake that you made
I said I'ma begging you
I said I'ma begging you
I said I'm pleading, pleading, pleading
[Outro]
Remember me
Don't you forget me, child
We are all only here
Just for a little while
Oh yes, we're here now
Oh yes, we're here
I need a little of your love every day
I need you to sit and to talk to me right now
Every second, every minute, every hour of the day
I need you to hold my little trembling hand
I need you to just stand right by
Oh, my, my, my
Ooh, right now...

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
