    Question Song mother used to sing, needed for her funeral?

    The song probably originated in the 40's/50's and I can not find it on any best seller lists. However I can remember we had it on a "record". So Again it went something like -" Remember me oh oh oh remember me oh oh, remember for the rest of your life. When I was a young boy ?????? But i'll always remember that girl down in the wood". Any ideas please?

    Was it male or female singer, do you know if they were American, or British ?

    Hi I think I found it.

    THE GIRL IN THE WOOD. Sung by Frankie Laine,

    Oh when I was a young boy
    And drove my Mother wild
    I met a maiden in the woods
    And she said "Child,

    Look deep into my green eyes,
    And at my autumn hair
    When you're a man you'll never see a girl
    Quite so fair.

    Remember me, oh remember me
    (backing remember for the rest of your life)

    Her eyes were green as grassy pools
    Looking right at me
    Her hair was red and grown with leaves
    Just like an autum tree

    She moved her tiny hands
    And she made a little turn
    She swayed in the wind
    Just like a graceful fern.

    I swore as she vanished
    That when I was full grown
    I'd have a girl just like her
    To be my very own.

    And now I am a man
    And I'd marry if I could
    But I can't lose the memory
    Of the girl in the wood.

    Remember me, oh remember me
    Remembe for the rest of your life

    I wished a hundred times
    That she'd never looked at me
    With the first wild beauty
    That only you'd cans't see. (this may mean that only youth can see)

    For a man cannot find it
    When he's looking for a wife
    And he'll end up in bachelorhood
    The rest of his life


    Remember me, or remember me.

    Remember for the rest of your life.
    Remember for the rest of your life.

    I hope this is it and helps you. I am sorry for the loss of your Mother.
