Rememb’ring You / Letters

Lyrics

[DINAH, spoken] Hullo fellas, now I know you've been getting our letters But just in case you haven't got the picture yet Here's what nights are like for us gals on the homefront: [DINAH] I can't seem to fall asleep, my darling I keep rememb'ring you Even as I'm counting sheep, my darling I keep rememb'ring, I'm not dissemblin' All day long, my eyes can't help it Searching high and low For my enlisted Romeo Oh I'm afraid I'm in too deep No matter what I do I keep rememb'ring you [DINAH, spoken] And don't forget boys Mail is a two-way street Get busy with that pen and paper! [STU, spoken] Dear Mitch… Dear buddy, Mitchie-boy, "Hollywood"? Shit Bet other guys don't have this much trouble writing [CZECHOWSKI] Dear Ethel! Dream about you all the time My missus My pookie! I need you so [PROFESSOR] Dear Merri! …Never once forgetting you I'm stuck in hell Till it's letter-reading time Your hello made me glow [TENNESSEE] Dear Peggy Sue! ...And be my missus! You'll drown in kisses! My angel! The way I need you [ROTELLI] Cara mia che bella regazza Mia dolce fior La tua faccia My oh my! I love ma baby My swingin a-lady [STU] All this time, and I'm suddenly thinking of you Why does your name open something lost in me? Somewhere in me musta been missing you All of this goddamn time Your face, your voice, your smile [STU, DINAH] Oh god I miss (Every day I write a note to show that) Your smile (I'm still rememb'ring you) I feel lost (I frame letters that you wrote) How can I say (To show that) The words I mean? (You're still rememb'ring too) [TENNESSEE] I miss your blueberry pie [CZECHOWSKI] They're better than a bed of roses! [PROFESSOR] Tell Ma that her cookies were grand [ROTELLI] Bella rosa [DINAH, MEN] And at night (In the evenin') My hand gets tired (Readin' letters) But I don't complain It's all that keeps me sane [ALL] I swear that I'm forever true Your letters see me through With love, rememb'ring you
