"I Remember It Well" is a song featured in the 1958 film Gigi with music composed by Frederick Loewe and lyrics written by Alan Jay Lerner. In the song, Madame Alvarez (Hermione Gingold) unexpectedly reunites with her old flame Honoré Lachaille (Maurice Chevalier), and they reminisce about their decades-ago affair, the details of which have become fuzzy over time.
Lyrics[]
Honoré Lachaille:
We met at nine
Madame Alvarez:
We met at eight
Honoré Lachaille:
I was on time
Madame Alvarez:
No, you were late
Honoré Lachaille:
Ah yes, I remember it well
We dined with friends
Madame Alvarez:
We dined alone
Honoré Lachaille:
A tenor sang
Madame Alvarez:
A baritone
Honoré Lachaille:
Ah yes, I remember it well
That dazzling April moon
Madame Alvarez:
There was none that night
And the month was June
Honoré Lachaille:
That's right, that's right
Madame Alvarez:
It warms my heart
To know that you
Remember still
The way you do
Honoré Lachaille:
Ah yes, I remember it well
How often I've thought of that Friday
Madame Alvarez:
Monday!
Honoré Lachaille:
Night, when we had our last rendezvous
And somehow I foolishly wondered if you might
By some chance, be thinking of it, too
That carriage ride
Madame Alvarez:
You walked me home
Honoré Lachaille:
You lost a glove
Madame Alvarez:
I lost a comb
Honoré Lachaille:
Ah yes, I remember it well
That brilliant sky
Madame Alvarez:
We had some rain
Honoré Lachaille:
Those Russian songs
Madame Alvarez:
From sunny Spain?
Honoré Lachaille:
Ah yes, I remember it well
You wore a gown of gold
Madame Alvarez:
I was all in blue
Honoré Lachaille:
Am I getting old?
Madame Alvarez:
Oh no, not you
How strong you were,
How young and gay
A prince of love in every way
