[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
Evеry detail of that date, that fateful yеar

I arrived at seven
I stopped along the way
To buy a big bouquet
For you—
I remember that

In 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 till 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

'Cause 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:

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 on, 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
