(Hank and Celeste, a young married couple, reminisce about their first date) [HANK] I have a memory for small details I have a memory that never fails I can remember names, dates and places And even faces Of people whose faces I don't wanna know I know the date of the Parthenon But there's a date that I'm hazy on That was the date we had, I remember In early September (Or was it November?) Three years ago Up to a certain point, my mind is clear Every detail of that date, that fateful year I arrived at seven I'd stopped along the way To buy a big bouquet for you I remember that At a French-type restaurant Run by a guy named Jake We had a sirloin steak for two I remember that I remember we sat out in Prospect Park In the glow of moonlight After that, we went back to my house And danced til dawn I was pouring coffee You lit a cigarette From then on, I forget what I said What I did And where I was at For I'd fallen in love with you I remember I'd fallen in love with you That's the one thing I do remember I remember that [CELESTE] Up to a point, your mind is clear, no doubt But I can remember some things that you left out For instance I was dressed at seven But you arrived at eight And you were never late again I remember that Since you'd bought me flowers You couldn't pay the check You were a nervous wreck by then I remember that I remember we sat in the park In the glow of a policeman's flashlight After that, we went back to my house And sat some more You were pouring coffee All over my new dress From then I, I confess I forget what I said And where I was at But I did fall in love with you I remember I did fall in love with you That's the one thing I do remember I remember that
