Minnetonka Songs ‎#64

64. Remembered

1 Fading away like the stars of the morning
Losing their light in the glorious sun.
So let me steal away, gently and lovingly,
Only remembered by what I have done,
Only remembered by what I have done.

Chorus:
Ever remembered, for ever remembered,
Ever remembered while the years are rolling on;
Ever remembered, for ever remembered,
Only remembered by what I have done.

2 So let my name and my place be forgotten,
Only my life race be patiently run;
So let me pass away, peacefully, silently,
Only remembered by what I have done,
Only remembered by what I have done. [Chorus]

3 So, in the harvest, if others may gather
Sheaves from the fields that in spring I have sown;
Who plowed or sowed matters not to the reaper--
I'm only remembered by what I have done. [Chorus]

4 Fading away like the stars of the morning,
So let my name be unhonored, unknown;
Here, or up yonder, I must be remembered--
Only remembered by what I have done. [Chorus]
