Songwriter: Dolly Parton

I'll remember you forever
I'll remember you as mine

Let's pretend tonight that it's the same as always
Let's go back just a little ways in time
Let's fill this one last night with lasting memories
Let me remember you as mine

Hold me close, pretending it's still me and you, love
And let me be the only thought that's on your mind
Let's pretend that you don't really have a new love
Oh no, let me remember you as mine

I'll remember you as sunshine that gave light to my world
I'll remember you as gentle as this night
I'll remember you as heaven that let me hold a little while
I'll remember you forever, I'll remember you as mine

When you leave my arms, then I will be alone, love
Hold me close, love me gently one last time
I won't ever picture you with no one else, love
No, I'll remember you as mine

I'll remember you as sunshine that gave light to my world
I'll remember you as gentle as this night
I'll remember you as heaven that let me hold a little while
I'll remember you forever, I'll remember you as mine
As mine, as mine

Dolly Rebecca Parton (born January 19, 1946) is an American singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, actress, author, and philanthropist, best known for her work in country music

Beginning her career as a child performer, Parton issued a few modestly successful singles from 1959 through the mid-1960s, showcasing her distinctive soprano voice. She came to greater prominence in 1967 as a featured performer on singer Porter Wagoner’s weekly television program; their first duet single, a cover of Tom Paxton’s “The Last Thing on My Mind”, was a top-ten hit on the country singles charts, and led to several successful albums before they ended their partnership in 1974. Moving towards mainstream pop music, Parton’s 1977 single “Here You Come Again” was a success on both the country and pop charts. A string of pop-country hits followed into the mid-1980s, the most successful being her 1981 hit 9 to 5" (from the film of the same name), and her 1983 duet with Kenny Rogers “Islands in the Stream”, both of which topped the U.S. pop and country singles charts. A pair of albums recorded with Linda Ronstadt and Emmylou Harris were among her later successes. In the late 1990s, Parton returned to classic country/bluegrass with a series of acclaimed recordings
