This is a song from another time, when lyrics were simple, sweet, and sincere. Chet Baker was a jazz trumpeter-turned-vocalist who recorded this with his quartet featuring pianist Russ Freeman. It’s a beautiful love song that is really quite timeless.
[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
