Classic Poem

  VERSE

You are leaving me,
And I will try
To face the world
Alone.
What will be will be,
But time cannot
Erase the love
We've known.
Let me but have a token
Through which your love is spoken,
You are leaving me,
But it will say
You're my own.

  REFRAIN

Oh, give me something to remember you by,
When you are far away from me,
Dear;
Some little something, meaning love cannot die,
No matter where you chance to be.
Though I'll pray for you,
Night and day for you,
It will see me through
Like a charm,
Till you're returning.
So give me something to remember you by,
When you are far away from me.
