REMEMBER ME TO CAROLINA
(Harry Revel (m) / Paul Francis Webster (l) 1944)

Benny Fields 1944



Pale moon shining
Tell her how I’m pining
Send a moonbeam telegram
Tell her just how blue I am.

Starlight, starbright
First real star I’ve seen tonight
Send a message to my love
Take this message to my love.

Remember me to Carolina
And tell her I’ll never
Forget her wherever
I roam.

Just remember me to Carolina
When blue dusk is falling
Her sweet voice is callin’
Callin’ me home.

And day after day
In every way
I love her better
Night after night
Here’s what I write
In every love letter.

Remember me to Carolina
Where song birds are matin’
And Caroline’s waitin’
Waitin’ for me.

And day after day
In every way
I love her better
Night after night
Here’s what I write
In every love letter.

Just remember me to Carolina
Where song birds are mating
And Caroline’s waiting
Waiting for me.
