Classic Poem

VERSE

Our romance won't end on a sorrowful note,
Though by tomorrow you're gone;
The song is ended, but as the songwriter wrote,
" The melody lingers on. "
They may take you from me,
I'll miss your fond caress.
But though they take you from me,
I'll still possess:

REFRAIN

The way you wear your hat,
The way you sip your tea,
The mem'ry of all that —
No, no! They can't take that away from me!
The way your smile just beams,
The way you sing off-key,
The way you haunt my dreams —
No, no! They can't take that away from me!
We may never, never meet again
On the bumpy road to love,
Still I'll always, always keep
The mem'ry of —
The way you hold your knife,
The way we danced till three,
The way you've changed my life —
No, no! They can't take that away from me!
No! They can't take that away from me!
