I Remember You / Dixie's Dream - Bette Midler

«The stars of our show, and America’s „shiekest“ couple

Eddie Sparks and Dixie Leonard!»

I remember you

I’d like to say that you’re in my dreams

You’re the one who made my dreams come true

You’re usually dead

a few

without a head

kisses ago

and lots of natives are picking their teeth with your bones

I remember, too

Oh, what a dream!

a distant bell

It comes at night and taunts me

and stars that fell

and, like your jokes, it haunts me until

like rain out of the blue

I’m blue as your face as the last breath leaves you

When my life is through

I’ll jump for joy

and the angels ask me to recall

and when Winchell asks me to recall

Who’s a chump and a heel

the thrill of it all

Who’s the biggest schlemeil?

Then I will tell them I remember.

.

«So, uh, it’s my birthday comin' up.»

«Yeah, I know, Eddie.»

«But, what do you give a guy that’s got everything?»

«Uh, penicillin?»

«Hmmm, hey Dix?

You ever been married?»

«Oh, yeah, Eddie, twice!»

«Children?»

«No, silly!

Grown men!

Tell me, Eddie, what’s the most romantic thing a woman ever said to you?»

«Are you sure you’re not a cop?»

Then I will tell them I remember.

.. you

You

and you
