Remember's Waltz

©2104 Gunther Trout
For Dolly Parton
(Similar to Tennessee Waltz)

I'm so sorry 

to tell you that

I think the end is near

I tried

To face it so

 it would cause you no fear

I just can't stop thinkin'

About the times we've had

and I hope you will remember

It wasn't all that bad

You cuss and you kiss

You love and you live

All I can hope darlin'

Is that you'll forgive...

This grown up girl's bones

Have a story to say

This ain't to hymn

And it a'int no ballet...

Just you remember

That when I do die

An old man you will be in sight

But never in my eye...

You cuss and you kiss

You love and you live
All I can hope darlin'

Is that you'll forgive...

Please do remember

As a lover and a friend

Don't wait for another gal
Ya think you-have-to de-fend

This grown up girl's bones

Have a story to say

This ain't to hymn

And it a'int no ballet...
