In the mountain groves
Along the riverbanks
Those places still remain
Along the riverbanks
Those places still remain
In the days gone by
In the hearts that walked together
In the days gone by
In the hearts that walked together
In the thoughts we shared
Traces of our love still remain
Oh... oh... remember
Oh... my darling, remember
On the stages of the night
In the gentle drizzle of rain
On the stages of the night
In the gentle drizzle of rain
This pattern of our bond
The world calls out to us
This pattern of our bond
The world calls out to us
Among the flowers of spring
In the swaying rhythms
The relationship that was born
Is nurturing our dreams
Oh... oh... remember
Oh... my darling, remember...
As I look back and remember
My heart feels so sweet
As I try to smile
My soul trembles within
Sweetheart... oh... oh... remember
Oh... my darling, remember
