Симгера Promise me !

Promise me, you'll love me when I'm gone
Promise me, you'll keep the guitar near
Remember me, just once — my love
And you will smile through the years

I've said goodbye so many times before!
When you'd leave in silence, without a word
Now it's my turn — and I forgive it all
All that we had but it's gone, it's gone

Promise me !
Promise - don't throw the guitar away!
Say you love only me
Promise me, don't throw the guitar away!
I'll come to you, in your dreams and play
My beloved -you are forever
Forever

We won't sit together over morning tea
We won't waste our words on foolish things
Just water the flower that you love
The one I gave you that day at the fair

The years will pass, and time will heal
But not for me — I won't be there at all
You'll grow old, your hair will turn to grey
And I'll be waiting in the sky — believe me
Believe me!

Promise me !
Promise- don't throw the guitar away!
Say you love only me!
Promise me, don't throw the guitar away
I'll come to you in your dreams and play
My beloved- you are forever
Forever!

But now don't cry !
One day, we'll meet again
Play -My Beloved on the guitar
I'll hear your voice, your voice so dear !

You'll come to me when the time is right
I'll be waiting at the gates of light
Don't forget to bring your guitar along
I know I'm talking nonsense again, again

Of course I don't want to leave
Though I'm tired of singing, tired of being
Right now, I don't want to look at the sky !
I just want to look into your eyes to look, to look!

Promise me!
Promise, don't throw the guitar away !
Say you love only me
I'll come to you in your dreams and play
My beloved- you are forever

I just want to look into your eyes
Promise me, don't throw the guitar away
