The sheet music:
Accompaniment:
Lyrics
You are leaving me, and I will try to face the world alone
What will be will be, but time cannot erase the love we’ve known
Let me but have a token, through which your love is spoken
You are leaving me, but it will say you’re my own
Refrain
Oh, give me something to remember you by
When you are far away from me, dear
Some little something, meaning love cannot die
No matter where you chance to be
Though I’ll pray for you, night and day for you
It will see me through, like a charm
‘Till your returning
So give me something to remember you by
When you are far away from me
So I’ll pray for you, every single day for you
It will see me through like a charm until you return
Give me something, something to remember you by
When you are far away from me
