The Girl In The Woods

The Girl In The Woods - Frankie laine

Remember me remember me

Remember for the rest of your life

Oh when I was a young boy

And drove my mother wild

I met a maiden in the woods

And she said child

Look deep into my green eyes

And at my autumn hair

When your a man you'll never see

A girl quite as fair

Remember me oh remember me

Remember for the rest of your life

Her eyes were green as grassy pools

Looking right at me

Her hair was red and grown with leaves

Just like an autumn tree

She moved her tiny hands

And she made a little turn

She swayed in the wind

Just like a graceful fern

I swore as she vanished

That when I was full grown

I'd have a girl just like her

To be my very own

And now I am a man

And I'd marry if I could

But I can't lose the memory

Of the girl in the wood

Remember me oh remember me

Remember for the rest of your life

Remember

I wished a hundred times

That she'd never looked at me

With the first wild beauty

That only you can't see

For I know I never terry or marry up for good

Not while my dreams bring to me

The girl in the wood

Remember me oh remember me

Remember for the rest of your life

Remember me remember me

Remember for the rest of your life
