    Promise Me You'll Remember

    by: Nino Rota

    Promise me you'll remember
    This love together today
    We may not have tomorrow
    It's not for us to say
    Fate isn't kind to lovers
    It breaks the hardest hearts
    Promise you'll remember
    How good we are
    Why do I find the sadness
    Under your sweetest kiss
    Destiny seems to whisper
    It won't stay like this
    Whenever we're together
    I feel time standing still
    I only know I love you
    And I always will
    If we should lose each other
    Somewhere inside the dark
    Promise me you'll remember
    How good we are
    Whenever we're together
    I feel time standing still
    I only know I love you
    And I always will
    If we should lose each other
    Somewhere inside the dark
    Promise me you'll remember
    How good we are
    Time isn't kind to lovers
    It breaks the hardest hearts
    Promise me you'll remember
