Lyrics: I Remember You
I remember you-oohYou’re the one who made my dreams come true A few kisses agoI remember you-oohYou’re the one who said I love you, too Yes, I do, didn’tcha know?I remember, too, a distant bell and stars that fellLike the rain out of the blue-ooh-ooh-ooh-hoo-hoo-hooWhen my life is throughAnd the angels ask me to recall The thrill of it all Then I will tell them I remember you-oohI remember, too, a distant bell and stars that fellJust like the rain out of the blue-ooh-ooh-ooh-hoo-hoo-hooWhen my life is throughAnd the angels ask me to recall The thrill of it all Then I will tell them I remember, tell them I remember Tell them I remember you
