The sheet music:
Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
Here’s a song that I’ve created
Nothing too sophisticated
It’s a theme that everybody knows
Not a hilly billy ballad full of sentimental salad
Tho’ you’ll think it silly, I suppose
My own refrain, child of my brain
And my song is dedicated
To the people who are mated
Listen now for here is how it goes
Refrain
Do you remember one September afternoon
I stood with you and listened to a wedding tune
And didn’t I go with you on your honeymoon?
Remember me?
Do you recall a cottage small upon a hill
Where every day I had to pay another bill?
And if I’m not mistaken, dear, I pay them still
Remember me?
I can see that little angel on your knee
Can’t you see, he kinda sorta looks like me
For I’m the boy whose only joy is loving you
Who worries till he hurries home when day is through
And I’m the guy you give you goodnight kisses to
Remember me?
