Chorus- Remember the night The night you said, "I love you" Remember? Remember you vowed By all the stars above you Remember? Remember we found a lonely spot And after I learned to care a lot- You promised that you'd forget me not But you forget To remember. 2 Into my dreams you wandered it seems, and then there came a day You loved me too, my dreams had come true, and all the world was May But soon the maytime turned to December You had forgotten, do you remember? Another unforgettable, bittersweet song by Irving Berlin. I have not seen the sheet music. The above from several lyrics sites. |

His first marriage ended in tragedy. In 1912, he married Dorothy Goetz, who died of typhoid fever, contracted during their honeymoon in Havana. "When I Lost You," his first ballad, spelled out his grief. His second marriage, to Ellin Mackay, daughter of the head of Postal Telegraph, was over the active objections of father Clarence Maskay. They were inseparable, until her death at age 85 in 1988 (Berlin died age 101). |
