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 the 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
