I Remember You Lyrics
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
You're the one who made my dreams come true
A few kisses ago
You're the one who said "I love you, too"
Yes, I do, didn'tcha know?
Like the rain out of the blue-ooh-ooh-ooh-hoo-hoo-hoo
And the angels ask me to recall
The thrill of it all
Then I will tell them I remember you-ooh
Just like the rain out of the blue-ooh-ooh-ooh-hoo-hoo-hoo
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

The composer, Johnny Mercer, had an affair with Judy Garland. She was 19 and he was 12 years old but madly in love with her and wanted to marry her. At the same time the composer and orchestra leader, David Rose was in love with her. She chose Rose. The day after the wedding Johnny gave her all rights to this song as a wedding gift. He said often the song was written specifically about his love for Judy. At the end of his life, he said he was still in love with her. Now read the lyrics with that thought in mind and you will understand what the lyrics represent.
@ktkat1949 Johnny Mercer, who was born in 1909, wrote the lyrics to "I Remember You" in 1941, making him 22 at the time the song was written, not 12. Probably a typo, but a really important one, LOL!
