When all our tears have reached the sea, 
A part of you will live in me, 
Way down inside my heart

The days keep coming without fail, 
A new winds gonna find your sail, 
And that's where your journey starts, 
You'll find better love, 
Strong as it ever was, 
Deep as a river runs, 
Warm as the morning sun
Please remember me

Just like the waves down by the shore, 
We're gonna keep on coming back for more, 
'Cause we don't ever want to stop
Out in this brave new world you see, 
Only the valleys and the peaks, 
I can see you on the top, 
You'll find better love, 
Strong as it ever was, 
Deep as a river runs, 
Warm as the morning sun
Please remember me

Remember me when you're out walking, 
When snow falls high outside your door, 
Late at night when you're not sleeping, 
And moonlight falls across your floor
When I can't hurt you anymore, 
You'll find better love, 
Strong as it ever was, 
Deep as a river runs, 
Warm as the morning sun
Please remember me
Please remember me.
