I Remember You
Johnny Mercer & Victor Schertzinger Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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

I remember you-ooh
You're the one who said "I love you, too"
Yes, I do, didn'tcha know?
I remember, too, a distant bell and stars that fell
Like the rain out of the blue-ooh-ooh-ooh-hoo-hoo-hoo

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-ooh

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

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

Loser The Most Biggest

Life on Mars and Hunky Dury was based on Comme di habitue, or later My Way of Frank Sinatra, Bowie tried to do a song of the french version but he culdn't later he listened to Sinatra and he tried to do his version of my way and in revenge he wrote Life of mars with the same chords.
