I Remember You
At the illuminate Film Festival we will all get to see a very haunting and romantic film titled ” I Remember You” It is also the title of a song written in 1941 with the lyrics by Johnny Mercer. Here are the lyrics:“I Remember You”
I remember you, you’re the one that made my dreams come true
just a few kisses ago, I remember you.
You’re the one who said I love you too, yes I do.
Didn’t you know I remember too, a distant bell and stars that fell, like the rain out of the blue.
When my life is through and the angels ask me to recall the thrill of them all
then I will tell them I remember, tell them I remember, tell them I remember you.
I remember too, a distant bell and stars that fell, like the rain out of the blue.
When my life is through and the angels ask me to recall the thrill of them all
then I will tell them I remember, tell them I remember, tell them I remember you.
The lyrics are so romantic when we think about “telling the angels, the thrill of it all”. The song was written for Judy Garland by Mercer. Even though it is a personal love song, we could expand it to include all of the things we remembered about our life that gave us a thrill. Like looking at the Milky Way, and my first ride at Disneyland. The birth of all my children. All the games we played together. All of the road trips we took. Every moment I spend with Lou Ann. My list would go on and on. I think I will write down all my remembered thrills on another document. The list would be too long for a blog. Life here on Earth has been a thrill. It has of course, had its ups and downs. However, it has been astounding and beyond words really. I wish for you to recall all of the best moments of your life and perhaps you too, could record them somehow.
We could start the I Love My Life Association. From my thrilled heart to yours, Thomas
