When I Grow Too Old to Dream / Remember - Mandy Patinkin

When I grow too old to dream

I’ll have you to remember

When I grow too old to dream

Your love will live in my heart

So kiss me, my sweet

And so let us part

And when I grow too old to dream

That kiss will live in my heart

Ah!

Ah!

And when I grow too old to dream

That kiss, that kiss will live-

Remember?

The old deserted beach that we walked

Remember?

The cafe in the park where we talked

Remember?

The tenor on the boat that we chartered

Belching «The Bartered Bride»

Ah, how we laughed

Ah, how we cried

Ah, how you promised

And ah, how I lied

That dilapidated inn

Remember, darling?

The proprietress’s grin

Also her glare

Yellow gingham on the bed

Remember, darling?

And the canopy in red

Needing repair

I think you were there

The local village dance on the green

Remember?

The lady with the large tambourine

Remember?

The one who played the harp in her boa

Thought she was so adept

Ah, how we laughed

Ah, how we wept

Ah, how we polka’d

And ah, how we slept

How we kissed and how we clung

Remember, darling?

We were foolish, we were young

More than we knew

Yellow gingham on the bed

Remember, darling?

And the canopy in red

Or was it blue?

Funny little games that we played

Remember?

The unexpected knock of the maid

Remember?

The wine that made us both rather merry

And oh so very frank

Ah, how we laughed

Ah, how we drank

You acquiesced

And the rest is a blank

What we did with your perfume

Remember, darling?

The condition of the room

When we were through

Our inventions were unique

Remember, darling?

I was limping for a week

You caught the flu

I’m sure it was you

And when I grow too old to dream

Your love will live in my heart
