Lyrics
When a Russian soldier bids his girl goodbye
He gives her a kiss, asking the miss
What promise he must pay “her”
Then the Russian soldier hears a wistful sigh
He know what she’ll say, and he’ll obey
If she should ask this way
Refrain:
Don’t forget me, don’t forget me
Keep me in your heart and let me linger there
No matter where you go
I’ll be near you, always near you
Think of me and I will hear you
Though you’re far away I’ll know
When you’re all alone and wondering if I am true
Don’t forget the plans that we have made, we two
Darling, don’t forget that I am yearning
Living just for your returning
Don’t forget that I love you
