The Happy Time - Liza Minnelli

Remember the Christmas morning long ago

The frosted glass, the dancing snow

The happy time

Remember the painted horse, the carousel

The chocolate kiss, the caramel

The happy time

Remember the pale pink sky

Your first Easter hat

And if you should ask me why

The reason I ask you this is that

I want to remember you remembering

The happy time

Remember the day you found the dollar bill

Or roller skating down the hill

The happy time

Remember the compliment you once received

The lie you told they all believed

The happy time

Remember your first school play

The sound of applause

Why do I go on this way?

I’m only reminding you because

I want to remember you remembering

The happy time…

Remember the a long deep sigh, a tentative kiss

And if you should ask me why

The reason I ask you that is this:

I’m longing to see you smile and hear you laugh

So I can have the photograph

And remember you remembering

The happy time!
