I am listening on April 6, 2020 ,with a good friend; we are well into our senior years (78 and 82), and this song stirs such memories. The song brings a bit of happiness in the midst of this terrible pandemic. Thank you, Brothers’ Four.
@@barbaraglynn1531 Am now listening April 6, 2020 in Helena, MT. My husband & I presented them in concert 2 years ago this month as part of our cabaret concert series. Delightful, genuine, spot-on, & the sound was...& is...heavenly!
My dad was always hard on me, pushing me to do good in school. A stark contrast to my mother, she would play this for me on piano. They both died December 16, 1991 in a "car accident". I hope they'd be proud of me and how I'm running the family business.
My dad use to sing this to us when we were going off to sleep. I'm 61 and he passed 5 years ago. Still brings back the best memories, and makes my heart hurt too.....
My uncle, Harvey Schmidt, was the composer of this song for The Fantastics. It premiered on May 3, 1960. It was the longest running off Broadway musical in history. He just passed away last night around got. Feb 26,2018
Well this is late but I want you to know this is a fabulous song and he contributed a song that is in the sound track of a lot of our lives! Condolences to you and your family!
Judy, I agree with you. I think that when you listen to this heartwarming slow paced wonderful song it reminds us of what life was like then and earlier. It's hard to find relaxing music like this anymore. Life in general seems much more out of control now.
It's hard to believe that once upon a time a song like this could be a hit in this country. I remember this song when I was a child and now I'm in the remembering phase of life.
Thank you for sharing. Yes, a hit! Funny I missed it the first time around. The remembering phase, I like to consider it, the integration phase, let it all come together and make sense. Peace to you.
Beautiful Song! I remember this song when I was teenager. A lot of beautiful memory in my life in September. I am an old woman of 75 aged this year. Thanks for sharing.
@@jeanettechong4487 I too, was a youngster when this song was a hit on the easy-listening stations of the 1960s. My dear old mother loved this song. I miss those days :-) Most music nowadays just jolts the nerves.
I'm 71, but I don't think it is so much age, but maturity too, that makes appreciation for the sentiment, and tenderness in this rendition. Dare I say, it is very masculine as well?
Try to remember the kind of September When life was slow and oh, so mellow Try to remember the kind of September When grass was green and grain was yellow Try to remember the kind of September When you were a tender and callow fellow Try to remember and if you remember Then follow, follow Try to remember the kind of September That no one wept except the willow Try to remember the time of September That dreams were kept beside your pillow Try to remember the kind of September When love was an ember about to billow Try to remember and if you remember Then follow, follow Deep in December It's nice to remember Although you know the snow will follow Deep in December It's nice to remember The fire of September that made us mellow Deep in December our hearts should remember And follow, follow, follow...
I’m in my 60s, and I feel your emotion, but I was white. The tragedy for me is that the innocence and safety was only for us, not for my Granny’s black maid and her son. Such a shame.
I often think about the long walks I would take when growing up. I had a special place, an old stream that had a car path but was a great place to "park" when I became a teen. There was a really big pike swimming in the stream that no one had ever been able to hook. At the end of the stream right above the river it was dammed up by a lot of old branches that made a swimming hole. I'd stay there for hours just enjoying the quiet and watching the little fish jump. I remember one time catching about a 1/2 dozen chubs and taking them home for my mother to cook for me. Yeah, I can remember.
@@Eyes-of-Horus Thank You for Sharing Sir.. Like you, I have many fond memories of Childhood.. We had a very old tree shaped like a Horses back and neck that several kids could "Ride" on at a time ( It would have been an old Native Marker, intentionally bent), I have often hoped that nobody chopped down that Tree overlooking a Bay on a Point that we had..I can still hear the sound of our Summer Place door closing and smell the Kerosene Lamps..I too would spend Hours just exploring and being a kid.. NO Cell Phones, No I pads, plenty of Mosquitoes.. but in so many ways life was far simpler and more enjoyable.. LOL We had NO Electric or Indoor Plumbing by my Grandpa's Choice.. BUT we were "Privileged" as we had TWO Outhouses and a Massive Ice Box... Yuup Those were the Days.
Si! Aquí en España hay una mujer que no para de oir semejantes voces y la misma canción cual obra de arte inigualable. Dicha srta. Joven pero con 64 años de edad, está siendo tratada de 2 cánceres a un tiempo, con excelentes resultados gracias a Dios, y agradece enormemente la música de calidad.
This reminds me of being a kid in our family room, and my Dad would play this song on the record player. I wish I could go back to that time just for a moment, and hug my folks.
my Dad was a great singer and he'd sing this song, and many others too. I am with you on those beautiful memories, thoughts and feelings. GOD Bless ALL of Our Fathers!
I am happy to report that more than 4 1/2 million people have watched this video in the last few years - more than 1/2 million in the last 6 months - it is an honor to have the audience still appreciate the music as much as they/it do(es) -
Brings tears, such a lovely song and lovely sang by four talents. Tomorrow Sept 2 is my anniversary. Sadly, he passed a year ago, together 53 years. September memories will be long remembered and follow... follow. Thank you, God and thank you, Four Brothers.
We were in college and falling in love. We went to New York and saw The Fantasticks on Off Broadway stage. Will always remember those precious memories, especially now that you are gone, my dearest Bruce.
We played this song at our wedding in September 1969. Thirty five years later, my husband died, so this brings tears to my eyes. Thank you for posting.
This song holds a special place in my heart because I was born in September. But what I consider my greatest gift is that I had reason during the presidency of John F Kennedy.
Me too. I was 8 yrs old in Gardena Ca when the TEACHER brought the tv into the classroom to tell us all. I didn’t understand at the time of course but I’m glad they were allowed to show real stuff then, not as much spin.. (SEPT 15 1955
So beautiful and so true we must face life's curve balls and still get up to bat to not harden ourselves from life's battles but remain true to the one who has created us!!!
I was fortunate enough to see play: the Fantastics in off Broadway play in Greenwich Village NYC in the 1990’s . A memorable experience that I Will never forget
I am 77 - with a group in high school - we called ourselves the Castaways - I don't think we learned Try to Remember - but se sang a lot of those folks songs - which made it pretty amazing when I was asked to join The Brothers Four at 21 in 1969. Are you still singing?
I love it when 'old' musicians are still performing now, and it comes across with a whole new feeling, & emotions!!!!... It creates a whole new level of respect, and love, for what people feel dear to them from the past, & into our future!!! xoxox
@@linsqopiring6816 Absolutely.... Today there is not the 'meanings' of Words, that is what it's all about... Am so glad you understand & feel that... xox
Listening to this beautiful song in 2023 .. In a world gone completely mad ..!! When nations turn their back on God ...all HELL BREAKS LOOSE . No God NO peace !! Know God ..know PEACE !!
Time is such a mysterious thing. Here is a song about remembering. And hearing it almost takes me back to a time that was so long ago but feels like yesterday.
My dear husband and I saw the show many years ago on Broadway. We fell in love in NYC. Now that I am alone, I have the musical memories to keep our love alive.
I've heard the same thing before, I've said the same thing before. But, I'm not sure that's really what we'd want when we got older if we never got to live like we were inexperienced young people. They're not smart enough to know the world's not their oyster. So they reach out for things, kind of like that old saying where a person's reach exceeds their grasp. Some of the world's great music and great poetry was written by people before they were 30. When I think about it, sometimes I want to go back and change the rules, too. A lot of times. But, other times I'm kind of glad that my youth was the wild roller coaster ride that could only have occurred if I didn't know any better. I don't know if that makes any sense to anybody. But, there's something I'm trying to explain, and that's the best I can do. Oh, I have strayed from an important point. I do love this song. I do love that it's about looking back at times long gone. There's a video of Jerry Orbach doing the same song, I think it was a carryover from his days on Broadway. It's pretty good. RIP Jerry Orbach. I only knew you from Law and Order, until I saw a video like that here. I didn't know you could sing. You could sure act.
It does if you look in YT.. The old integrity kind.. I listen to them often. it calms me like an adult lullabye….”Try to remember” is very good too. They did 500 miles in the early sixties.... No bashing women, no twirking, no political messages, no BS..just nice music.. I’m kind of old fashioned thinking of treat others as you would like to be treated..
He was 37 and she was 35 years old. My Buddy had a love relationship you'd never seen before. Such love between the two, beyond belief. Just over a year after the beginning of their relationship she developed terminal cancer and was given less than a year to live. What devastation! That being said, their love grew even stronger. On the night she passed away she was in his arms and the background music was playing. As she spoke her last words, "I'll always love you," this song (Try To Remember) started playing. And tears just flowed down our eyes. We have never forgotten this song, which of course reminds of her passing. The Four Brothers...such good music!
What a beautiful, yet heart wrenching story. I think this is a bit of what we all think about when we hear this gentle song.....days and loves long past and a desire to relive beautiful memories. Thanks for capturing our emotions with your story as this song plays in the background.
Oct.16 2021 just played this beautiful and timeless classic for my 100 year old mum, it made us feel young again, thank you brothers four for the priceless memories!
Maybe the sad thing is they DO right in this way, and the "geniuses" who decide what will get air play don't play them. So, IMO, across our nation and the world, these sort of songs "will not sell", or so the geniuses have decided. But then someone like say loreena mckennitt comes along and decided she "doesn't buy it" (that the geniuses in he big studios run the world) and she goes out, sells her self made songs, at festivals, small events and so forth until the geniuses decide to "give it a chance". So it still happens, I am glad to report.
My two dogs know this tune well, as we walk half an hour in the woods twice a day, and they hear this on harmonica often. My mom sang this often, sixty years ago, and later, as my sisters and I grew up. I just ran across this by "accident", thanks!
Try to remember was a song written in 1965 and then they were talking about how life was slower and sweeter, before that. It would be fantastic for life to be like that again as long as we had food, clothing , a house and a dog! We don't realise how intense everything has become, and its sad.
很喜歡Brothers Four的歌,因他們帶我回到兒時的感覺。我68歲,在 Quarry Bay 出生。那里有山有水,每天去幾游水,又常去山上走,我的運動底仔就在這里打好了。生治很慢,可以好好紐味生活。但現今社會,什麼都講求效率及速度,我靈願活在童年時氛圓,想像活在往年,如要面對現今世界,不間心,全世界都努力對抗
I used to sing this song with my mother when I was a child in the 1970s. Now I'm 58, but still sing this. My grandson knows this song coz he hears me singing this
I remember this song as a kid. This and Moon River really got to me because of the almost haunting melody. I guess I felt a beautiful song even as a small boy. I've been playing the guitar and music for over fifty years now. The great ones still get to me!
I'm listening, 4/15/22... I remember Hearing this on the radio when I was a little girl, it touched my heart then and it still touches my heart now... How can you not reflect back on your life when you hear it. A lifetime of memories💜
How ironic that this song can only be appreciated by those of us who are older. Indeed, youth is fleeting but how fleeting can only be appreciated in later years. Try to remember, yes but getting older has its own glory which should be enjoyed, one day at a time. Those who pine away for their younger years are acting foolishly (although I've done it). Those who are blessed enough to have lived into older age (pick your own definition of that ) should be very thankful for them and appreciate the younger ones but not yearn for them. One day at a time.
Who's playing this in 2023? Memories of those far-off day? Memories tinged with sadness ? Reminiscences and Memories crowded your mind? Long lost friend? or heyday of your life? I want hear your stories.
Two albums dominated my listening in the 70s (from my parents' few selections): Brothers Four in Person and Smothers Brothers Live at the Purple Onion. So that was weird. But I think both have served me well.
God made the 60'sSo many do not understand what it is to "Feel" the 60'sThey were good and bad but I AM SO GLAD I lived them,I shall die but I shall be remembered, Thank You!
As a Pakistani student at a US University in 1964, I heard this beautiful song. It reminded me how serene and peaceful was the US. There was love and respect and everyone said "Hello," even to strangers. Then came the Vietnam War & all Hell broke Loose. And the US was changed forever. Never ever return to tranquil years of love and brotherhood.😢
I remember playing this song clear back in the early 60's. When I was in high school while most kids were listening to rock and roll, I was listening to folk music. I guess this is how I became and antiwar protestor long before most other people were. Eventually though after college I was drafted into the marines. I never believed in the war but I did believe I owed a duty to my country. Too bad when I got out my country never felt a duty to us Vietnam veterans.
His voice is so mellow isn't it? That line sits so badly in my mind Try to Remember"! That phrase is so prevalent Reminding me how many times I thought "TRY-TO REMEMBER"! Never mind he sings so well I can FORGET the pain of remembering My DAD killed in '39" War Please gentle viewer listener here Remember another Route for Nations In Governance where Women hold back Men 50% Men 50% Women in GOVERNANCE Reminding them WAR-Starving does not work well 2-RULES-HUMANITY VOTED in next election SAVES That Regular many Million DEAD So do remember VOTE Safety 2-RULES-HUMANITY Thanks Mark Pearson Publishing

Nice song,remimbering this teamsong of my husband.

Listening to this in August 2024 i miss this kind of music. Brings back so many memories.❤️❤️❤️🇮🇪☘️
I'm listening. Its 2024 and still a kind, perfect song. It won't be long now.

Hi Charlene💐💐
Seven Daffodils or Scarlett Ribbons.. Talk about calming adult lullabyes
My dad use to sing this to us when we were going off to sleep. I'm 61 and he passed 5 years ago. Still brings back the best memories, and makes my heart
hurt too.....
My uncle, Harvey Schmidt, was the composer of this song for The Fantastics. It premiered on May 3, 1960. It was the longest running off Broadway musical in history. He just passed away last night around got. Feb 26,2018
He certainly left us with a timeless treasure...I am sorry for your loss
I lived in Brooklyn, NY back in the 1960-70's. I have seen this show many times. I remember buying tickets for my parents to see it.
Well this is late but I want you to know this is a fabulous song and he contributed a song that is in the sound track of a lot of our lives! Condolences to you and your family!
@Watson Clerk The Fantastics was the longest running off-Broadway play in history.
Fantastiks, that is. . . .
Listening in 2023 I was so blessed to grow up in the 50 's60s and 70's. Amazing lyrics/voices, musicians!

So blessed indeed! The world needs many more musicians like we had!
So beautiful ❤️.

Try to remember the kind of September
When life was slow and oh, so mellow
Try to remember the kind of September
When grass was green and grain was yellow
Try to remember the kind of September
When you were a tender and callow fellow
Try to remember and if you remember
Then follow, follow
Try to remember the kind of September
That no one wept except the willow
Try to remember the time of September
That dreams were kept beside your pillow
Try to remember the kind of September
When love was an ember about to billow
Try to remember and if you remember
Then follow, follow
Deep in December It's nice to remember
Although you know the snow will follow
Deep in December It's nice to remember
The fire of September that made us mellow
Deep in December our hearts should remember
And follow, follow, follow...
Thank you!
Thank you 😊
Your welcome my friends ❤
Love this song❤
thank you for the lyrics
I’ll be 70 in September and I’ve always thought this was the most beautiful song ever written. It always makes me cry 😢, but in a good way.
😢❤
My wife just loves this song. Was life better then ? We were all so innocent. You could go anywhere as a child and be safe. People seemed to care.
I’m in my 60s, and I feel your emotion, but I was white. The tragedy for me is that the innocence and safety was only for us, not for my Granny’s black maid and her son. Such a shame.

After school we played sports till dark, then mom would call us in for dinner. Golden years.
I often think about the long walks I would take when growing up. I had a special place, an old stream that had a car path but was a great place to "park" when I became a teen.

There's something missing from you. Even if you don't like it, you should be able to appreciate the sentiment. I pity you.
Early 60s American folk music - with 60 yrs experience. Just what we need as a panacea in these crazy times
Thank you. We're still having a lot of fun.
A beautiful song from when music meant something and artists were not weirdos with crazy haircuts and bizarre antics!
I heard this song when I was young, now that I am 74 it means more.
72 here brings tears
Same here and same age too. I cry when I hear it and I'm not ashamed to say it.
Yes.
I'm listening to this song in 2023. It fills me with a deep nostalgia for times when life was simple, uncomplicated, easy....

Would that we had the wisdom at 18 that we have at 74. What different life choices we would make🌈
I totally agree and am 2 years older than you! Love this group and song. Stay well
I've heard the same thing before, I've said the same thing before. But, I'm not sure that's really what we'd want when we got older if we never got to live like we were inexperienced young people. They're not smart enough to know the world's not their oyster. So they reach out for things, kind of like that old saying where a person's reach exceeds their grasp. Some of the world's great music and great poetry was written by people before they were 30. When I think about it, sometimes I want to go back and change the rules, too. A lot of times. But, other times I'm kind of glad that my youth was the wild roller coaster ride that could only have occurred if I didn't know any better. I don't know if that makes any sense to anybody. But, there's something I'm trying to explain, and that's the best I can do. Oh, I have strayed from an important point. I do love this song. I do love that it's about looking back at times long gone. There's a video of Jerry Orbach doing the same song, I think it was a carryover from his days on Broadway. It's pretty good. RIP Jerry Orbach. I only knew you from Law and Order, until I saw a video like that here. I didn't know you could sing. You could sure act.
Don't think I would make 74 but at 60 I still feel the same. Wish you all and your loved ones healthy and happy.
Well said
This music 🎶 doesn’t exist anymore.
It does if you look in YT.. The old integrity kind.. I listen to them often. it calms me like an adult lullabye….”Try to remember” is very good too.
They did 500 miles in the early sixties.... No bashing women, no twirking, no political messages, no BS..just nice music.. I’m kind of old fashioned thinking of treat others as you would like to be treated..
This is the best version of this song I have ever heard ❤❤❤
This was My Mam and Dad's song. There last holiday together was in September. When my Father died, I song this for my Mam when she was sad..
Prayers for you, your family and all who love you and care for you!

Mary MC Mullen i want to cry.

Oh, Mary, that was beautiful. And I'm sure that somewhere he was hearing and appreciating it. All the best.
2021. Their voices make my heart feeling so comfy
Remind me of my high school days ^^^almost 50years passed with memory thanks!

In 2024, I can never hear this too many times.
A reminder of my childhood in Camp Phillip, Bukidnon.😊
He was 37 and she was 35 years old. My Buddy had a love relationship you'd never seen before. Such love between the two, beyond belief. Just over a year after the beginning of their relationship she developed terminal cancer and was given less than a year to live. What devastation! That being said, their love grew even stronger. On the night she passed away she was in his arms and the background music was playing. As she spoke her last words, "I'll always love you," this song (Try To Remember) started playing. And tears just flowed down our eyes. We have never forgotten this song, which of course reminds of her passing. The Four Brothers...such good music!
What a beautiful, yet heart wrenching story. I think this is a bit of what we all think about when we hear this gentle song.....days and loves long past and a desire to relive beautiful memories. Thanks for capturing our emotions with your story as this song plays in the background.
Thanks for sharing good memories of her

Heart breaking
So heartbreaking ..... beautiful, yet tragic.
Mom used to sing this to us kids...God, how I miss her!
Oct.16 2021 just played this beautiful and timeless classic for my 100 year old mum, it made us feel young again, thank you brothers four for the priceless memories!
I grew up listening to this song but it’s even more meaningful with 9/11 coming up. 💜
If only they wrote them like this today, maybe the world would be a wonderful place. Thank you
Yes it would.
There are still your folk singers. Times are so much harsher now. So, much hate in the world, so unfortunate.
@@KsAdventures All the more reason for musicians, artists, poets to try to bridge the divisions.
Maybe the sad thing is they DO right in this way, and the "geniuses" who decide what will get air play don't play them. So, IMO, across our nation and the world, these sort of songs "will not sell", or so the geniuses have decided. But then someone like say loreena mckennitt comes along and decided she "doesn't buy it" (that the geniuses in he big studios run the world) and she goes out, sells her self made songs, at festivals, small events and so forth until the geniuses decide to "give it a chance". So it still happens, I am glad to report.
My two dogs know this tune well, as we walk half an hour in the woods twice a day, and they hear this on harmonica often. My mom sang this often, sixty years ago, and later, as my sisters and I grew up. I just ran across this by "accident", thanks!
Try to remember was a song written in 1965 and then they were talking about how life was slower and sweeter, before that. It would be fantastic for life to be like that again as long as we had food, clothing , a house and a dog! We don't realise how intense everything has become, and its sad.
Listening 9/23/2023
Love their sound.
很喜歡Brothers Four的歌,因他們帶我回到兒時的感覺。我68歲,在 Quarry Bay 出生。那里有山有水,每天去幾游水,又常去山上走,我的運動底仔就在這里打好了。生治很慢,可以好好紐味生活。但現今社會,什麼都講求效率及速度,我靈願活在童年時氛圓,想像活在往年,如要面對現今世界,不間心,全世界都努力對抗
May, 2024. Still love the voices
Songs like this are true music to my ears 💕💕💕💕
I used to sing this song with my mother when I was a child in the 1970s. Now I'm 58, but still sing this. My grandson knows this song coz he hears me singing this
I remember this song as a kid. This and Moon River really got to me because of the almost haunting melody. I guess I felt a beautiful song even as a small boy. I've been playing the guitar and music for over fifty years now. The great ones still get to me!
Me, too. You’re heart sings among a throng of dreamers.
The great ones always will get to you -- each time you hear them. That's what makes them classic.
Listening in June 2024. Best time of my young life. 초혼에서 듣던 때를 생각합니다. 지금은 가고 없는 친구와 함께..
Try to remember when there were
lots of music that made us mentally stable.
Who is listening this song in 2022 like me
Beautiful song sung by a great group. Thank you so much for posting this.
There are no old songs . . . only old singers.
2023 still listening
I am deep in December and I remember.
I am listening, remembering my father singing like this to our cow bringing her in to be milked. Thaaaaank you!
I'm not in a good place right now . Trying to remember the good times ..............
Good times will come 222
I can remember my childhood days on horses out in the Country. Alas sadly today its all about cars, pollution and crime.
I'm listening, 4/15/22... I remember Hearing this on the radio when I was a little girl, it touched my heart then and it still touches my heart now... How can you not reflect back on your life when you hear it. A lifetime of memories💜
I just looked up this song because it plays a big part in the William Forstchen trilogy. Good song. I like it.
How ironic that this song can only be appreciated by those of us who are older. Indeed, youth is fleeting but how fleeting can only be appreciated in later years. Try to remember, yes but getting older has its own glory which should be enjoyed, one day at a time. Those who pine away for their younger years are acting foolishly (although I've done it). Those who are blessed enough to have lived into older age (pick your own definition of that ) should be very thankful for them and appreciate the younger ones but not yearn for them. One day at a time.
They are still young at heart!
That's Lou Gottlieb on bass and vocals. He was an original and longtime member of The Limeliters with Glen Yarbrough and Alex Hasilev.
And we wonder why the world has gone sideways- That was a great time. Yes meant yes and no meant no. Will we ever get back there?
Who's playing this in 2023?
Memories of those far-off day?
Memories tinged with sadness ?
Reminiscences and Memories crowded your mind?
Long lost friend?
or heyday of your life?
I want hear your stories.
So mellow and nostalgic . . . a lost art in music.
Also I love that the focus is on the music and the words and the feeling they convey...not about the personalities or looks of the singers.
Viejos tiempos que no volveran. Yo tenía 11 años. Ahora 67. Música como esta, de Caravana, me sigue manteniendo viva.
Two albums dominated my listening in the 70s (from my parents' few selections): Brothers Four in Person and Smothers Brothers Live at the Purple Onion. So that was weird. But I think both have served me well.
Still putting on my headphones and trying to put the world at arms length....it still works....
Today is 1-1-2020, and I still remember starting freshmen college classes in September, 1962!
God made the 60'sSo many do not understand what it is to "Feel" the 60'sThey were good and bad but I AM SO GLAD I lived them,I shall die but I shall be remembered, Thank You!
Yes. I shall remember, too. Thank you...1/6/46
1939--I'm with you, bro!
As a Pakistani student at a US University in 1964, I heard this beautiful song. It reminded me how serene and peaceful was the US. There was love and respect and everyone said "Hello," even to strangers. Then came the Vietnam War & all Hell broke Loose. And the US was changed forever. Never ever return to tranquil years of love and brotherhood.😢
This is October 11 2023 and I listening and enjoying it!!!!
I remember playing this song clear back in the early 60's. When I was in high school while most kids were listening to rock and roll, I was listening to folk music. I guess this is how I became and antiwar protestor long before most other people were. Eventually though after college I was drafted into the marines. I never believed in the war but I did believe I owed a duty to my country. Too bad when I got out my country never felt a duty to us Vietnam veterans.
何度も聞いて感激した曲です、私が50年前に初めて聞いた曲です、懐かしさを感じました
I saw the Brothers Four at Whitefish Bay H.S. in Wi. in 1965 with a girl I admired and will never forget.
I also saw them at the same show with a girl named Linda R. whom I have never forget.
His voice is so mellow isn't it?
That line sits so badly in my mind
Try to Remember"!
That phrase is so prevalent
Reminding me how many times
I thought "TRY-TO REMEMBER"!
Never mind he sings so well
I can FORGET the pain of remembering
My DAD killed in '39" War
