I Remember It Well
[SAM, spoken]
I was making this chair for you. My last piece. As it should be.
[SUSAN, spoken]
Funny, when you opened the store you made the first piece for me, too. This rocker.
[SAM, spoken]
That's right, I did.
[SUSAN, spoken]
Do you remember the night you gave it to me? It was just a few days after we came to Mayville. It was on my birthday.
[SAM, spoken]
Remember? I do indeed, Susan. I remember every detail of that evening just as if it were yesterday. Just as if it were yеsterday...
(sung)
It was late at night
[SUSAN]
It was six-fifteen
[SAM]
You werе dressed in white
[SUSAN]
I was all in green
[SAM]
That's right!
I remember it well
It began to pour
[SUSAN]
It was warm and clear
[SAM]
We were in the store
[SUSAN]
We were both out here
[SAM]
That's right!
I remember it well
We were all alone
The kids had flown
Upstairs to bed for the night
[SUSAN]
When you brought the chair
They both were there
But outside of that you are right
[SAM]
But the moon was low
[SUSAN]
Yes, the moon was low
[SAM]
And I loved you so
Yes, I did love you so
And it seemed even more
More than ever before
Am I right?
[SUSAN]
Oh yes, you're right
[SAM & SUSAN]
I remember it well
