Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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
