Remember me when the candle lights are gleaming
Remember me at the close of a long, long day
It would be so sweet when all alone I'm dreaming
Just to know you still remember me

The sweetest songs belong to lovers in the gloaming
The sweetest days are days that used to be
The saddest words I ever heard were words of parting
When you said "Sweetheart, remember me."

You told me once that you were mine alone forever
And I was yours till the end of eternity
But all those vows are broken now, and we will never
Be the same except in memory

A brighter face may take my place when we're apart, dear
A sweeter smile, a love more bold and free
But in the end, fair weather friends may break your heart, dear
If they do, sweetheart, remember me

---

Bob Dylan's version:

The sweetest songs are sung by lovers in the moonlight
The sweetest days are the days that used to be
The saddest words I ever heard were words of parting
When you said "Sweetheart, remember me."

Remember me when the candle lights are gleamin'
Remember me at the close of a long, long day
Just be so sweet when all alone you're dreamin'
Just to know you still remember me

A brighter face may take my place when we're apart, dear
A brighter smile an' a love more bold and free
But in the end, fair weather friends may break your heart, dear
An' if they do, sweetheart, remember me

Remember me when the candle lights are gleamin',
Remember me at the close of a long, long day
Just to be so sweet when all alone you're dreamin'
Just to know you still remember me

You told me once you were mine alone forever
You were mine till the end of eternity
But now it's over, dear, and we can never
Be the same except in memory

Remember me when the candle lights are gleamin',
Remember me at the close of a long, long day
Just be so sweet when all alone you're dreamin'
Just to know you still remember me
