About The Song

Written by Barry and Maurice Gibb during a band restructuring, the song stands out for its slower tempo, acoustic guitar flourishes, and Barry’s deep, soulful vocals.
The lyrics paint a vivid picture of denial and longing, clinging to memories and begging the departed one not to fade away. The song resonates with anyone who has experienced the pain of separation, making it a timeless classic despite its lesser-known status in the Bee Gees’ extensive repertoire.
In just a few minutes, “Don’t Forget To Remember” delivers a powerful emotional punch, showcasing the Bee Gees’ ability to delve beyond their usual disco-era sound and touch the hearts of listeners with poignant storytelling and raw vocal delivery.

Lyrics
Oh my heart won’t believe that you have left me
I keep telling my self that it’s true
I can get over anything you want my love
But I can’t get myself over you
Don’t forget to remember me
And the love that used to be
I still remember you
I love you
In my heart lies a memory to tell the stars above
Don’t forget to remember me my love
On my wall lies a photograph of you girl
Though I try to forget you somehow
You’re the mirror of my soul so take me out of my hole
Let me try to go on living right now
Don’t forget to remember me
And the love that used to be
I still remember you
I love you
In my heart lies a memory to tell the stars above
Don’t forget to remember me my love
