remember me this way

painter

would you paint my portrait?

paint me wearing the finest clothes in town

make me look like i'm somebody

make me a little younger than i am now

will you please remember me

remember me this way

will you please remember me

i want to be remembered this way

paint me with a happy family

kids and dogs and babies all around

paint us on the bank of a river

put horses and a house in the background

will you please remember me

remember me this way

will you please remember me

i want to be remembered this way

make it a work of art

a real sight to see

make it a work of art

a real masterpiece

don't forget my dear companion

put someone who loves me by my side

will you please remember me

remember me this way

will you please remember me

i want to be remembered this way
