I Remember You
Dorsey Jimmy & Tommy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I remember you, oh
You're the one who made my dreams come true
A few kisses ago

I remember you, oh
You're the one who said "I love you, too"
Yes, I do, didn't you know?
I remember, too, a distant bell and stars that fell
Like the rain out of the blue

When my life is through
And the angels ask me to recall
The thrill of it all
Then I will tell them I remember you

I remember, too, a distant bell and stars that fell
Just like the rain out of the blue

When my life is through
And 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

I remember you, oh
I vividly recall your presence


You're the one who made my dreams come true
You are solely responsible for fulfilling my ambitions


A few kisses ago
Although it seems like a short duration, it has lasted a considerable time


You're the one who said 'I love you, too'
You reciprocated my feelings of affection for you


Yes, I do, didn't you know?
I have always loved you and assumed you knew it too


I remember, too, a distant bell and stars that fell
I also recall a moment of serenity interrupted by sudden events


Like the rain out of the blue
As sudden as a downpour from a clear sky


When my life is through
Upon the end of my existence


And the angels ask me to recall
If any celestial beings inquire about my past experiences


The thrill of it all
The excitement and joy of life


Then I will tell them I remember you
I will mention you as one of the most significant and cherished parts of my life


Tell them I remember
Reiterate my vivid recollection


Tell them I remember you
Specifically mention my remembrance of you
