When I Grow Too Old to Dream / Remember

When I grow too old to dream
I’ll have you to remember
When I grow too old to dream
Your love will live in my heart

So kiss me, my sweet
And so let us part
And when I grow too old to dream
That kiss will live in my heart

Ah! Ah!
And when I grow too old to dream
That kiss, that kiss will live–

Remember?
The old deserted beach that we walked
Remember?
The cafe in the park where we talked
Remember?
The tenor on the boat that we chartered
Belching "The Bartered Bride"
Ah, how we laughed
Ah, how we cried
Ah, how you promised
And ah, how I lied

That dilapidated inn
Remember, darling?
The proprietress's grin
Also her glare
Yellow gingham on the bed
Remember, darling?
And the canopy in red
Needing repair
I think you were there

The local village dance on the green
Remember?
The lady with the large tambourine
Remember?
The one who played the harp in her boa
Thought she was so adept
Ah, how we laughed
Ah, how we wept
Ah, how we polka'd
And ah, how we slept

How we kissed and how we clung
Remember, darling?
We were foolish, we were young
More than we knew
Yellow gingham on the bed
Remember, darling?
And the canopy in red
Or was it blue?

Funny little games that we played
Remember?
The unexpected knock of the maid
Remember?
The wine that made us both rather merry
And oh so very frank
Ah, how we laughed
Ah, how we drank
You acquiesced
And the rest is a blank

What we did with your perfume
Remember, darling?
The condition of the room
When we were through
Our inventions were unique
Remember, darling?
I was limping for a week
You caught the flu
I'm sure it was you

And when I grow too old to dream
Your love will live in my heart
