Audio: Something To Remember You By – Bette Midler – Carnegie Hall, 1972

Something To Remember You By
  (Arthur Schwartz, Howard Dietz)


Tid-Bettes: Bette first sang this song during her infamous performance at Carnegie Hall in 1972.

You are leaving me
 And I must try
 To face the world alone
 What will be will be
 But time can not erase
All 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 very own

Oh, give me something
 To remember you by
 When you are far away from me
 Oh my dear

Just some little something
 That means your love will not die
 No matter, no matter where you chance to be

Though I pray for you
 Night and day for you
 It will see me through
 Just like a charm
 Until you're returning

So give me something
To remember you by
When you are so very far away from me

Although I pray for you
All night and all day for you
I said it's got to see me through
Just like a charm
Until you return

Oh, give me something
To remember you by
When you are far away
Far away, far away
