Now, I lay me down to sleep
In this dark, dreary December
If you awake and I am gone
What would you remember?
The way I laugh at little jokes
or how I drink my tea
The way I do the little things
Would you remember me?
If I had passed on in the night
would you think of how I looked
at ball games and at puppy dogs
and of all the things I cooked
My scent, would things remind you
of how I sometimes smelled
would you think of things I ******* up
and of all the times I yelled
If you awoke one morning
and found I'm not to be
what would you remember?
would you remember me?
If things did happen backwards
and I woke and you weren't there
I'd miss the way you smiled
The perfume of your hair
the ways your eyes did twinkle
when you had a special thought
of doing something naughty
of somewhow being caught
I'd remember things about you
of glances in the night
of how we worked together
of how we fit just right
I know that I'd remember
these things and more, you'd see
but I know, that I'd remember
But would you remember me?
