I Remember You
King Crimson · Other Songs - King Crimson
Were we on the nile?
Long, long ago,
Say an hour or so
I recall that i saw your 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," 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.
