Tis sweet to be remembered on a bright or gloomy day
Tis sweet to be remembered by a dear one far away
Tis sweet to be remembered remembered remembered
Tis sweet to be remembered when you are far away
As I travel on this world just to soothe my rovin' mind
The messages I get from a dear one left behind
They were filled with sweetest words that's so touchely when I heard
Never ever can I forget these are some things that she said
Tis sweet to be remembered
Tis sweet to be remembered by a dear one far away
Tis sweet to be remembered remembered remembered
Tis sweet to be remembered when you are far away
As I travel on this world just to soothe my rovin' mind
The messages I get from a dear one left behind
They were filled with sweetest words that's so touchely when I heard
Never ever can I forget these are some things that she said
Tis sweet to be remembered
