(hank and celeste, a young married couple, reminisce about their first date)

[hank]
i have a memory for small details
i have a memory that never fails
i can remember names, dates and places
and even faces
of people whose faces
i don’t wanna know

i know the date of the parthenon
but there’s a date that i’m hazy on
that was the date we had, i remember
in early september
(or was it november?)
three years ago

up to a certain point, my mind is clear
every detail of that date, that fateful year

i arrived at seven
i’d stopped along the way
to buy a big bouquet for you
i remember that

at a french-type restaurant
run by a guy named jake
we had a sirloin steak for two
i remember that

i remember we sat out in prospect park
in the glow of moonlight
after that, we went back to my house
and danced til dawn

i was pouring coffee
you lit a cigarette
from then on, i forget what i said
what i did
and where i was at
for i’d fallen in love with you
i remember
i’d fallen in love with you
that’s the one thing i do remember
i remember that

[celeste]
up to a point, your mind is clear, no doubt
but i can remember some things that you left out

for instance

i was dressed at seven
but you arrived at eight
and you were never late again
i remember that

since you’d bought me flowers
you couldn’t pay the check
you were a nervous wreck by then
i remember that

i remember we sat in the park
in the glow of a policeman’s flashlight
after that, we went back to my house
and sat some more

you were pouring coffee
all over my new dress
from then i, i confess
i forget what i said
and where i was at

but i did fall in love with you
i remember
i did fall in love with you
that’s the one thing i do remember
i remember that
