From the 1935 film "Mississippi"


 A   Edim       E7          D9     Bm7-5      AM7      F#7
Your sweet ex - pres - sion,   the smile you gave me,

    Edim     D9           E7  Cdim  A   AM7  A7  A7+5 
The way you looked       when  we   met --

      D  E7-9 D9   A        F#7   D9     Bm7-5 E7   C#m7-5  F#7 Cdim  E7
It's easy to  re - mem - ber, but so hard to   for - get.


  Edim       E7         D9      Bm7-5      AM7      F#7
I hear you whis - per,     "I'll al - ways love you,"

  Edim     D9     E7 Cdim  A    AM7  A7  A7+5
I know it's over,     and yet,

      D  E7-9 D9   A         F#7     D9     Bm7-5  E7    A
It's easy to  re - mem - ber,    but so hard  to  for - get.


Bridge:

  AM7      A7       Em7      Edim   Dsus2  D  B7
So I must dream to have your hand caress  me,

 G      Gdim       D     D7
Fingers press me tight;

            Dm7        G7               C       Am
I'd rather dream than have that lonely feelin'

  E        B7         E
Stealing through the night.
 

A   Edim    E7     D9    Bm7-5      AM7      F#7
Each little moment    is clear be - fore me,

    Edim       D9    E7 Cdim   A    AM7  A7  A7+5
And though it brings     me regret,

      D  E7-9 D9   A         F#7     D9 Bm7-5 E7 Fdim   A
It's easy to  re - mem - ber,    but so hard  to for - get.
