Chet Baker - I remember you

WHEN MY LIFE IS THROUGH

En su nonagésimo aniversario natal evocamos la memoria de Chet Baker con I remember you, nostálgica composición de 1941 con música de Victor Schertzinger y letra de Johnny Mercer que el malogrado cantante y trompetista estadounidense de jazz incluyó en su álbum Chet Baker sings and plays with Bud Shank, Russ Freeman and strings (1955).


I remember you  (lyrics)

Was it in Tahiti?
Were we on the Nile?
Long, long ago
Singing our, our song
I recall that I saw you smile
I remember you
You're the one who made my dreams come true
A few kisses ago
I remember you
You're the one who said
I love you too
Didn't you know
I remember too a distant bell
And stars that fell
Like rain out of the blue
When my life is through
And the angels ask me
To recall
The thrill of them all
Then I shall tell them
I remember you

I remember too a distant bell
And stars that fell
Like rain out of the blue
When my life is through
And the angels ask me
To recall
The thrill of them all
Then I shall tell them
I remember you
If they should ask
I'll gladly tell them
I remember you
