Remember That I Care

Lyrics

[ROSE] I don't know, Sam Sometimes I feel discouraged, too Last night I could hardly sleep And I woke up depressed and blue I thought I'd walk to the office So I cut through the park by the mall Everything looked so fresh and green Life seemed not so bad after all! What do you think I saw, Sam? A lilac-bush flowering bright It made me think of that poem you said Remember? When we sat in the park one night [SAM] Yes, I remember [ROSE] It was just like tonight We were both feeling sort of low And all of a sudden You began that poem [SAM] In the dooryard fronting an old farmhouse Nеar the whitewashed palings Stands thе lilac bush tall-growing With heart-shaped leaves of green With many pointed blossoms rising delicate With the perfume strong I love With every leaf a miracle [ROSE] In the dooryard fronting an old farmhouse Near the whitewashed palings [SAM] With the perfume strong I love [ROSE] Stands the lilac-bush [SAM] With every leaf a miracle [ROSE] Tall-growing [SAM] And from that bush in the dooryard With delicate-colored blossoms And heart-shaped leaves of green A sprig with its flower I break [ROSE] A sprig with its flower I break Yes, that's what I thought in the park today When I saw that bush, fresh and green I wanted to break off a flower But I was afraid I might be seen Maybe a park policeman Might come and take me away "Do not pick the flowers" The signs forever say [SAM] Don't! Don't! They always say Stand back! Keep off the grass! Don't pick the flowers! Don't pick the flowers! Don't take! [ROSE] But in our dreams, Sam! [SAM] Yes, in our dreams, Rose! [ROSE] Yes, in our dreams [ROSE & SAM] A sprig with its flower we break A sprig with its flower we break [ROSE] And the lilac-bush is ours [SAM] The lilac-bush is ours [ROSE] Nothing can take it away [SAM] Nothing can take it away [ROSE] The lilac-bush is ours [SAM] The lilac-bush is ours [ROSE] Forever and a day [SAM] Forever and a day [ROSE & SAM] And when you see the lilac-bush Bright in the morning air Remember, darling remember [SAM] Remember that I care! [ROSE & SAM] Remember that I care!
