I Remember You
The Quartet of Charlie Parker Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A beautiful theme of every
Dream I ever knew.
Down deep in my heart I hear it play.
I feel it start, then melt away.
I hear music when I touch your hand,
A beautiful melody
Down deep in my heart, I hear it say,
Is this the day?
I alone have heard this lovely strain,
I alone have heard this glad refrain:
Must it be forever inside of me,
Why can't I let it go,
Why can't I let you know,
Why can't I let you know the song
My heart would sing?
That beautiful rhapsody
Of love and youth and spring,
The music is sweet,
The words are true
The song is you.

I cut my teeth listening to this stuff in my younger days, 51 years ago. My first saxophone was a nickel plated Selmer cigar cutter alto.
For those who want to get into the life of "Bird", I'd recommend Ross Russell's "Bird Lives" as a good place to start.
