It's really a sweet song. ...but it sure was a bear to type. -Joe Offer- I REMEMBER IT WELL (from the Broadway MusicalGigi) words: Alan Jay Lerner music: Frederic Lowe ©1957 & 1958 by Chappell & Co., Inc. We met at nine. We met at eight. I was on time. No, you were late. Ah, yes! I remember it well. We dined with friends. We dined alone. A tenor sang. A baritone. Ah, yes! I remember it well. That dazzling April moon! There was none that night. And the month was June. That's right! That's right! It warms my heart To know that you Remember still The way you do. Ah, yes! I remember it well. How often I've thought of that Friday— --Monday …night. When we had our last rendezvous. And somehow I've foolishly wondered if you might By some chance be thinking of it too. That carriage ride… You walked me home. You lost a glove. I lost a comb. Ah, yes! I remember it well. That brilliant sky. We had some rain. Those Russian songs. From sunny Spain. Ah, yes! I remember it well. You wore a crown of gold. I was all in blue. Am I getting old? Oh, no! Not you! How strong you were, How young and gay; A prince of love In every way. Ah, yes! I remember it well. |

28 Jan 99 - 03:09 PM (#56133) Subject: RE: Oh yes I remember it well From: Joe Offer I did make one semi-mistake - the film came first - 1957/58. The Broadway musical came later, 1974. This song in the film is Chevalier at his best. The Broadway cast recording is OK, but not a classic. -Joe Offer- |

Dear Joe, Thanks for the effort -- brought back memories (am I getting old...) -- but you aren't going back far enough. The original, from a story by Colette, was a Broadway play (before it was a musical) in about 1950, that starred a complete unknown named Audrey Hepburn. Yours, Peter T. |

It might be available on one of those "Best of Sullivan"-type videos that have come on the market in the last few years. |
