A Bad Goodbye

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.
I do. 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.

Was it in Tahiti? Woah, woah, woah, woah.
Were we on the Nile?
Long, long ago, say, an hour or so,
I recall that I saw your smile.

And 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 will tell them I remember,
tell them I remember you.
