Will You Think of Me Once In a While
Will you think of me once in a while,
When the tears from your eyelids are trailing,
When they bury me after the trial.
Will you think of me oft with that smile;
When obstructions in life you are scaling,
Will you think of me once in a while
When you pass by the rose garden dial,
Would you think of my love as unfailing,
When they bury me after the trial.
Although distant by many a mile,
Would you treasure this letter I'm mailing;
Will you think of me once in a while.
Bitter thoughts grip my insides like bile,
But I reckon I'll no more be ailing
When they bury me after the trial.
I'll not be there to see you in style;
Please forgive me, my daughter, for failing.
Will you think of me once in a while,
When they bury me after the trial.
