My high school reunion… is coming up this year. This was my graduation song, it was actually written by Kui Lee, who was born in Shanghai. He defined a new generation of “Island” music. There are 3 recorded versions of this song, this one by Elvis, one by Don Ho, and another by the Makaha Sons of Ni’ihau. Remember singing this on graduation day and couldn’t stop crying. But when it all over and we threw our caps into the wind… I was so happy and couldn’t stop laughing!
I'll Remember You - Words & music by Kui Lee
- I'll remember you
- Long after this endless summer is gone
- I'll be lonely, oh so lonely
- Living only to remember you
- I'll remember too
- Your voice as soft as a warm summer breeze
- Your sweet laughter mornings after
- Every after I'll remember you
Chorus:
- To your arms some day
- I'll return to stay 'til then
- I will remember too
- Every bright star we made wishes upon
- Love me always promise always
- You'll remember too
The lyrics are simple, the melody sweet… Elvis made it into a classic.
