Will you remember me? When you're in your thirties And your down on bended knee Proposing to "the one" Picking out silverware Planning a life together And thinking of the days Present and past When she asks you who your first love was Will you remember me? Will you remember me? When you're in your forties Married to your gorgeous woman, Three beautiful kids, Who look just like their father, Big house, A black BMW, A dog, And all the happiness in the world Will you remember me? Will you remember me? When you're in your fifties, Your wife's hair is graying, But yours is staying dark, Your children are in college, Your spending holidays at the river house, Driving an SUV With your dog snoozing in the back, Listening to oldies on the radio, Will you remember me? Will you remember me? When you're in your sixties, And your wife's face is sagging, But still as pretty as ever, Her hands are calloused, Your dog has long since died, You have a cat now, Your house is full Of family And laughter, You're holding your grand daughter on your lap And she asks who your first love was, Will you remember me? Will you remember me? When you're in your seventies And a tear rolls down your cheek At the funeral of your wife Who lost her battle with breast cancer And you look up towards the heavens Will you remember me? Will I remember you? When I'm in my eighties I'm sitting at the doctor's office Being diagnosed Before I slip away Thinking of the days when I lived My life To the fullest Wondering what I missed out on Will I remember you? |
