Remember Me Beautiful Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I thought that woman would live forever
I guess I grew up, but I swear she never grew old
Sometimes I put on her favorite sweater
When I’m all alone and the world feels cold
She’d say “you should’ve known me when I was twenty
When life was a long road ahead with no end
I was a fast car riding pretty
But I had a ball and I’d do it all again.”

[Chorus]
Remember me beautiful
Remember me young
Remember me smiling
My facе towards the sun
Remembеr me happy
When you remember what was
Oh but most of all
Remember my love

[Verse 2]
Don’t think I ever heard her talk about dying
She was just too busy living every day
When I want to call her up and I can’t stop crying
If heaven had a phone, I’m sure she’d say
[Chorus]
Remember me beautiful
Remember me young
Remember me smiling
My face towards the sun
Remember me happy
When you remember what was
Oh but most of all
Remember my love

Oooo, oooo

[Verse 3]
I told her she could go if she was ready
And I promised her that we’d all be okay
She needed me so I was strong and steady
I leaned in close, and I hope she heard me say

[Chorus]
Remember me beautiful
Remember me young
Remember me smiling
My face towards the sun
Remember me happy
When you remember what was
Oh but most of all
Remember my love
Remember my love

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
