(Helen)
Oh, give me something to remember you by
When you are far away from me, dear
Some little something, meaning love can not die,
No matter where you chance to be.
(Dick)
Though I'll pray for you, night and day for you;
It will see me through like a charm,
Till you're returning.
So give me something to remember you by
When you are far away from me.

Till your returning

So give me something to remember you by
(Both)
When you are far away from me.

as rec by Morgana King January 1956 New York
You are leaving me,
And I will try
To face the world alone.
What will be will be,
But time cannot
Erase the love we've known!
Let me but have a token,
Through which your love is spoken.
You are leaving me,
And I will say
You're my own dear!
Oh, give me something to remember you by
When you are far away from me, dear.
Some little something meaning love can not die,
No matter where you chance to be.
Though I'll pray for you,
Night and day for you,
It will see me through
Like a charm until your returning.
So give me a little something to remember you by
When you are far away from me.
When you are far away from me.
