I'll Remember Her

Noel Coward

I'll remember her,

How incredibly naive she was,

I couldn't quite believe she was

Sincere,

So alert,

So impertinent

And yet so sweet.

My defeat

Was clear.



I'll remember her,

Her absurd exaggerating

And her utterly deflating

Repartee

And the only thing that worries me at all

Is whether she'll remember me.



I'll remember her

In the evenings when I'm lonely

And imagining if only

She were there.

I'll relive,

Oh, so vividly,

Our sad and sweet,

Incomplete

Affair.



I'll remember her

Heavy-hearted when we parted.

With her eys so full of tears she couldn't see

And I'll feel inside a foolish sort of pride

To think that she remembers me.
