"I Remember You" lyrics - CHET BAKER

CHET BAKER
"I Remember You"
(Johnny Mercer / Victor Schertzinger)

[Lyrical intro]
Was it in Tahiti?
Were we on the Nile?
Long, long ago, singing our song
I recall that I saw your smile

[Song]
I Remember You
You're the one
Who made my dreams
Come true
A few kisses ago

I remember you
You're the one
Who said
I love you too
Didn't you know?

I remember too
A distant bell
And stars that fell
Like rain
Out of the blue

When my life is through
And the angels ask me
To recall
The thrill of them all

Then I shall tell them
I remember you

[Trumpet solo]

[Piano solo]

I remember too
A distant bell
And stars that fell
Like rain
Out of the blue

When my life is through
And the angels ask me
To recall
The thrill of them all

Then I shall tell them
I remember you

If they should ask
I'll gladly tell them
I remember you
