Oh Yes, I Remember Clifford Lyrics - Singles - Manhattan Transfer

Clif---------------------------------------ford 

I know he'll never be forgotten 

Long as there's still sound 

He was a king uncrowned 

Not all kings are given crowns 

I know I'll always remember 

Always 

The warmth 

All his warmth 

Of his sound 

Was in his sound 

Lingers so long I'm sure he's still around 

Still around -------------Those who've heard 

For all those who've heard 

Truly, they repeat him yet 

Even yet 

So those who hear won't forget 

And the ever-present sound 

That abounds in his praise 

Echos throughout the universe 

For endless spans of time uncountable 

By days 

The pretty little piquant passages 

Clifford played 

They are with us now 

And I'm positive that they will endure 

Should time and sacred circumstance allow 

Yes, they'll live forever 

Oh, yes, I remember Clifford now 

Seems I always feel that Clifford's spirit's 

Hangin' roun' me somehow 

We remember 

Each and every single day 

I hear his lovely trumpet tone 

Such exquisite singing 

In every horn that seems to have a sound 

That's all its own 

So somebody tell me how 

How can we ever day for certain 

Someone that played 

Like Clifford Brown could play 

Could really be said to have gone away 

I only know that I hear him now 

And I believe that I always will 

You've got to believe 

I remember Clifford still, yes I hear him still 

I know he'll never be forgotten 

He was a king uncrowned 

I know I'll always remember 

'Member Clifford Brown 

I'll always remember Clifford Brown
