Dinah Washington
I Remember Clifford
[Verse]
I know he'll never be forgotten
He was a king uncrowned
I know I'll always remember
The warmth of his sound
Lingers so long, I'm sure he's still around
For those who heard they repeat him yet
So those who hear won't forget
Mmm, the sound of his phrase
Echoes a time uncountable by days
The things he played are with us now
And they'll endure should time allow
Oh yes, I remember Clifford
I seem to always feel him near somehow
Every day I hear his lovely tone
In every trumpet sound that has a beauty all its own
So how can we say someone so real has really gone away?
I hear him now and always will
Believe me, I remember Clifford still
