I remember yesterday…

I remember that first night we met
Dancing to the sounds of clarinets
Dancing cheek to cheek, oh how sweet
You and me and this fantasy
Oh I remember our first night

I remember how we carried on
On and on until the light of dawn
From the very start, you stole my heart
I knew right then we would never part
Oh I remember that first night

Remember that first night
Remember that first night
Remember that first night

I saw your lovelight through the candle’s glow
Champagne was flowing, and so I let myself go
And when the night was over,
We both looked around the room
Remember darling, chairs on the table,
And only me and you

I remember how we carried on
On and on until the light of dawn
And from the very start, you stole my heart
I Knew right then we would never part
I remember that first night
