I Remember You / Dixie`s Dream — текст песни (Bette Midler)

[Announcer:] The stars of our show, and America`s shiekest couple,
Eddie Sparks and Dixie Leonard!

[J:] I remember you.
[B:] I`d like to say that you`re in my dreams.
[J:] You`re the one who made my dreams come true
[B:] You`re usually dead,
[J:] a few
[B:] without a head,
[J:] kisses ago.
[B:] and lots of natives are picking their teeth with your bones.
[J:] I remember, too,
[B:] Oh, what a dream!
[J:] a distant bell,
[B:] It comes at night and taunts me,
[J:] and stars that fell
[B:] and, like your jokes, it haunts me until
[J:] like rain out of the blue.
[B:] I`m blue as your face as the last breath leaves you.
[J:] When my life is through,
[B:] I`ll jump for joy.
[J:] and the angels ask me to recall
[B:] and when Winchell asks me to recall
who`s a chump and a heel.
[J:] the thrill of it all,
[B:] Who`s the biggest schlemeil?
[Both:] Then I will tell them I remember . . .
[J:] So, uh, it`s my birthday comin` up.
[B:] Yeah, I know, Eddie.
[J:] But, what do you give a guy that`s got everything?
[B:] Uh, penicillin?
[J:] Hmmm, hey Dix? You ever been married?
[B:] Oh, yeah, Eddie, twice!
[J:] Children?
[B:] No, silly! Grown men!
Tell me, Eddie, what`s the most romantic thing a woman ever said to you?
[J:] Are you sure you`re not a cop?
Then I will tell them I remember . . . you.
[B:] You
[J:] and you.
