Think Of Me With Kindness - Gentle Giant

(A personal song. It has been kept simple to retain the

essentially intimate mood of the piece.)

Why am I using words, no more to say

without you

Close the door, put out the lights and go.

Late in the night, in the night your

shadow falls between us.

Nevermore, never know.

There, memories are sorrow,

When there’s no tomorrow.

Sleep while the sweet sorrow wakes

my daydream;

Sleep while you think of me with

kindness, please remember former

days.

Sweet the song that once we sang, the

silent parting ways.

And you know, and you know,

And you know, long ago when first we

made our promise —

Empty words, I wonder did you know —

The laugh that love could not forgive,

Is gone and tells no more to live,

And we who look in beauty’s love;

Must now, through all, look back on

before —

The tears that I first cried, no more;

Your love has come and gone, no more.

And we who look in beauty’s love

Must now through all think back

on before.

Sleep while the sweet sorrow wakes my

daydream

Sleep while you think of me with

kindness, please remember former

days.

And you know, and you know.

And you know, when we two parted in

tears

and silence

past the days, the parting ways.

Fare thee well, fare thee well, you

that was once dear to me.

Think of me with kindness

Think of me.
