Story Behind the Song
A tip of the hat to my hometown of Bakersfields' country roots. Funny I hated country when I was a growing up. The song is simply about someone asking to be remembered after the bad memories fade away. I always' remember reading somewhere John Lennon saying in the late 1970's that he could not say that the Beatles wouldn't ever get back together, because as time goes by you only remember the good times, the bad times fade. That he was at a point were he remembered the good times of the band. This was also a Brian Jones was Murdered song, though the little guitar bit at the beginning and under the choruses did not come about until I did this recording.
Lyrics
Ill remember you, If you remember me
Ill remember you, If you remember me
Im sorry if I hurt you
Im sorry if you cried
Im sorry things didnt work out
Even though we tried
Ill remember you, If you remember me
Ill remember you, If you remember me
Now that were apart
the weeks turn into years
the bad times fade away
The good times stay clear
Remember me, remember me, remember me
solo
Ill remember you, If you remember me
Ill remember you, If you remember me
and when Im gone
you know it wont belong
when Im dead and gone
Remember me
Remember me, remember me, remember me
Ill remember you, If you remember me
Ill remember you, If you remember me
