It was sung by Garrison and I think the refrain was "remember me". There is a song in DT by that name but I didn't hear enough to recognize it. Is that the same song? If not, does anyone know what the song |

03 Apr 99 - 11:20 PM (#67980) Subject: RE: Song on Prairie home tonight From: Sandy Paton Kat, m'luv: That was "Remember Me," written by Scott Wiseman, the song that became the theme song of T. Texas Tyler's radio show. I've loved it for years and still sing it quite frequently. Garrison said Scotty wrote it for his wife, Lulubelle, who passed away not long ago. I knew he was gone, but hadn't heard about her death. I'm not sure of the correct spellings of their names, but my wife grew up listening to "Lulubelle and Scotty" on radio, so she was thrilled when they ordered all of the traditional albums I had recorded in their native North Carolina. We were also excited when Sandy Koufax ordered all of our recordings of Gordon Bok! Now you know what retired left-handers listen to. Sandy |

Texas Tyler REMEMBER ME (When The Candle Lights Are Gleaming) Recorded by: T. Texas Tyler Writer: Scott (aka Scotty) Wiseman CHORUS Remember Me when the candle lights are gleaming Remember Me at the close of a long, long day It would be so sweet when all alone I'm dreaming Just to know you still Remember Me. The sweetest songs belong to lovers in the gloamin The sweetest days are those that used to be The saddest words I ever heard, were words of parting When you said "Sweetheart, Remember Me." You told me once that you were mine alone forever And I was yours til the end of eternity But all those vows are broken now and we will never Be the same except in memory. A brighter face may take my place when we're apart, dear A sweeter smile, a love more bold and free But in the end, fair weather friends may break your heart, dear If they do, sweetheart, Remember Me. CHORUS |

I thought it was written for the show, but then I heard it on a Hank Snow recording. How about the current theme song - was that written for the show? -Joe Offer- |
