I Remember You/Dixie’s Dream lyrics
by Johnny Mercer
[Intro: Announcer]
"The stars of our show, and America's "sheikest" couple
Eddie Sparks and Dixie Leonard!"
[James Caan and Bette Midler, Both]
I remember you (I'd like to say that)
You're the one who made my dreams(you're in my dreams)
Come true (You're usually dead)
A few (without a head)
Kisses ago (and lots of natives are picking their teeth with your bones)
I remember, too (Oh, what a dream!)
A distant bell (It comes at night and taunts me)
And stars that fell (and, like your jokes, it haunts me until)
Like rain out of the blue (I'm blue as your face as the last breath leaves you)
When my life is through (I'll jump for joy)
And the angels ask me to recall (and when Winchell asks me to recall Who's a chump and a heel)
The thrill of it all (Who's the biggest schlemeil?)
Then I will tell them I remember
[Dialogue: James Caan and Bette Midler]
"So, uh, it's my birthday comin' up."
"Yeah, I know, Eddie."
"But, what do you give a guy that's got everything?"
"Uh, penicillin?"
"Hmmm, hey Dix? You ever been married?"
"Oh, yeah, Eddie, twice!"
"Children?"
"No, silly! Grown men!
Tell me, Eddie, what's the most romantic thing a woman ever said to you?"
"Are you sure you're not a cop?"
[Outro: James Caan and Bette Midler]
Then I will tell them I remember . . . you
(You)
And you
