I Remember You/dixie's Dream Lyrics - For The Boys - Bette Midler

[Announcer:] "The stars of our show, and America's "shiekest" couple, 

Eddie Sparks and Dixie Leonard!" 

[J:] I remember you. 

[B:] I'd like to say that you're in my dreams. 

[J:] You're the one who made my dreams come true 

[B:] You're usually dead, 

[J:] a few 

[B:] without a head, 

[J:] kisses ago. 

[B:] and lots of natives are picking their teeth with your bones. 

[J:] I remember, too, 

[B:] Oh, what a dream! 

[J:] a distant bell, 

[B:] It comes at night and taunts me, 

[J:] and stars that fell 

[B:] and, like your jokes, it haunts me until 

[J:] like rain out of the blue. 

[B:] I'm blue as your face as the last breath leaves you. 

[J:] When my life is through, 

[B:] I'll jump for joy. 

[J:] and the angels ask me to recall 

[B:] and when Winchell asks me to recall 

who's a chump and a heel. 

[J:] the thrill of it all, 

[B:] Who's the biggest schlemeil? 

[Both:] Then I will tell them I remember . . . 

[J:] "So, uh, it's my birthday comin' up." 

[B:] "Yeah, I know, Eddie." 

[J:] "But, what do you give a guy that's got everything?" 

[B:] "Uh, penicillin?" 

[J:] "Hmmm, hey Dix? You ever been married?" 

[B:] "Oh, yeah, Eddie, twice!" 

[J:] "Children?" 

[B:] "No, silly! Grown men! 

Tell me, Eddie, what's the most romantic thing a woman ever said to you?" 

[J:] "Are you sure you're not a cop?" 

Then I will tell them I remember . . . you. 

[B:] You 

[J:] and you.
