Subject: RE: songs about remembering
In addition to McCartney's "Yesterday," there's also an older song (from the first half of the 20th C.) titled "Yesterdays."

The above had music by Jerome Kern.

Eric Bogle - Scraps of Paper
Paul Simon - Bookends, Part 2 ("preserve your memories, they're all that's left you"
Remember - Nilsson ("Long Ago, Far Away...")
The "Gigi" I Remember It Well was actually a rewrite. Alan Jay Lerner wrote a similar song with the same title with Kurt Weill for LOVE LIFE in the late 1940s', available on one of Ben Bagley's Painted Smiles collections.
