[G]As I leave[D7] behind Nei[G]din
[G]It's like purple [D7]splashed on[G] green,[G7]
My[C] soul is strangely led[G]
To the[A7] winding hills a[D]head
And she[G] plays a[D7] melo[G]dy
Of[C] winds and streams for[B] me
[C]Won't you remember,[G] won't you remember
[D]Won't you remember[G] me?

And we wind and climb and fall
Like the greatest waltz of all
Float across the floor
Her sweet breath outside the door
And it's time that I was gone
Across the silver tear
Won't you remember, won't you remember
Won't you remember me?

As I leave behind Neidin
In the halls where we have been
Rhododendrons in her hair
In the scent of mountain air*
I still feel her spirit song
Across the silver tear
Won't you remember, won't you remember
Won't you remember me?

* Mary Black sings: "mountain-scented air."
