Remember [Dutch translation]

The years begin to go so fast

Each one more quickly than the last

It’s time to gather up the past

Remember

To see, in memories evergreen

The life we’ve lived, the years we’ve seen

The good, the bad, the might-have-been

Remember

For there were times, I won’t deny

I knew the way to make you cry

The times we almost said goodbye

Remember

But now we’ve lived our season through

I feel such thankfulness to you

For giving me a reason to

Remember

We’ve taken all that life can give,

We’ve learned to pity and forgive

Discovered life is there to live

Together

We’ve shared our pleasure and our pain

Till nothing now can break the chain

Whatever storms may yet remain

We’ll weather

When first we started, who could say

That we would come this long, long way

It seems like only yesterday

Remember

We held the stage and sang our song

We’ve seen our children grow up strong

And lived an age that we will long

Remember

And now in peaceful afterglow

How comforting it is to know

We’ve made our little garden grow

Remember

For time gets used and disappears

Like children’s toys and souvenirs

among the shadows of the years

Remember

The days grow shorter, one by one

And though our summertime is done

I’ll see you always with the sun

Above you

And when, at last, I’ve lived my day

With one more breath I will convey

A curtain line to end the play

I’ll look at you once more and say:

Remember

I love you.
