We met at nine

"I remember it well"

He: [ She ]

We met at nine.
[ We met at eight. ]
I was on time.
[ No, you were late. ]
Ah yes! I remember it well.

We dined with friends.
[ We dined alone. ]
A tenor sang.
[ A baritone. ]
Ah yes! I remember it well.

That dazzling April moon!
[ There was none that night, ]
[ And the month was June. ]
That's right! That's right!

[ It warms my heart ]
[ To know that you ]
[ Remember still ]
[ The way you do. ]
Ah yes! I remember it well.

How often I've thought of that Friday,
[ Monday ]
Night,
When we had our last rendez-vous.
And somehow I've foolishly wondered
If you might
By some chance
Be thinking of it too?

That carriage ride.
[ You walked me home. ]
You lost a glove.
[ I lost a comb. ]
Ah yes! I remember it well.

That brilliant sky.
[ We had some rain. ]
Those Russian songs.
[ From sunny Spain. ]
Ah yes! I remember it well.

You wore a gown of gold.
[ I was all in blue. ]
Am I getting old?
[ Oh no! Not you! ]

[ How strong you were, ]
[ How young and gay; ]
[ A prince of love in ev'ry way. ]
Ah yes! I remember it well.
