I Remember Clifford |
| I know he’ll never be forgotten |
| Long as there’s still sound |
| He was a king uncrowned |
| Not all kings are given crowns |
| I know I’ll always remember |
| Always |
| The warmth |
| All his warmth |
| Of his sound |
| Was in his sound |
| Lingers so long I’m sure he’s still around |
| Still around… Those who’ve heard |
| For all those who’ve heard |
| Truly, they repeat him yet |
| Even yet |
| So those who hear won’t forget |
| And the ever-present sound |
| That abounds in his praise |
| Echos throughout the universe |
| For endless spans of time uncountable |
| By days |
| The pretty little piquant passages |
| Clifford played |
| They are with us now |
| And I’m positive that they will endure |
| Should time and sacred circumstance allow |
| Yes, they’ll live forever |
| Oh, yes, I remember Clifford now |
| Seems I always feel that Clifford’s spirit’s |
| Hangin' roun' me somehow |
| We remember |
| Each and every single day |
| I hear his lovely trumpet tone |
| Such exquisite singing |
| In every horn that seems to have a sound |
| That’s all its own |
| So somebody tell me how |
| How can we ever day for certain |
| Someone that played |
| Like Clifford Brown could play |
| Could really be said to have gone away |
| I only know that I hear him now |
| And I believe that I always will |
| You’ve got to believe |
| I remember Clifford still, yes I hear him still |
| I know he’ll never be forgotten |
| He was a king uncrowned |
| I know I’ll always remember ' |
| Member Clifford Brown |
| I’ll always remember Clifford Brown |
