Ah, yes! One of my favorite scenes from one of my favorite musicals. It's really a sweet song.
...but it sure was a bear to type.

I REMEMBER IT WELL
(from the Broadway MusicalGigi)

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.
