I Will Still Remember You
By Bill Colgate

 

When golden girls and lads all must as chimney sweepers come to dust*
When palace piers embrace the lake in one last dance before they break
When we've forgotten how to find the place that we once knew
When all these things have come to pass
I will still remember you

When all the houses filled with light are boarded up to hold the night
When all the children now at play find their tomorrows yesterday
When we've forgotten how to say the words that we now do
When all these things have come to pass
I will still remember you

'Round and 'round she goes
Where she stops nobody knows
You buy your ticket and you take your chance
It's a hell of a ride it's a hell of a dance

When love is something on the run
When life's a game that must be won
When all the players leave the stage
And poets face their final page
When we've forgotten how to keep the promise that we do
When all these things have come to pass
I will still remember you
When all these things have come to pass
I will still remember you
