I’ll remember, I’ll remember
When the time has come for happiness to pay
Sad and sighing, old and dying
I’ll remember how we loved our lovely day


This is my lovely day
This is the day I shall remember the day I’m dying
They can’t take this away
It will be always mine, the sun and the wine
The sea birds crying
All happiness must pay
And who can tell if fate means well
Or the sky is lying
But look at me and say
You will remember too that this is our lovely day


I’ll remember, I’ll remember
When the time has come for happiness to pay
Sad and sighing, old and dying
I’ll remember how we loved our lovely day


Our lovely day
Our lovely day.

THIS IS MY LOVELY DAY
(From "Bless The Bride")

Pierre – Georges Guétary
Lucy – Lizbeth Webb

(Lucy)
This is my lovely day
This is the day I shall remember the day I'm dying
They can't take this away
It will be always mine, the sun and the wine
The sea birds crying
All happiness must pay
And who can tell if fate means well
Or the sky is lying
But look at me and say
You will remember too that this is our lovely day

(Pierre)
I'll remember, I'll remember
When the time has come for happiness to pay

(Lucy)
Sad and sighing, old and dying
I'll remember how we loved our lovely day

(Pierre)
This is my lovely day
This is the day I shall remember the day I'm dying
They can't take this away
It will be always mine, the sun and the wine
The sea birds crying
All happiness must pay
And if our ship goes down
She'll go with the flag still flying

(Lucy)
But look at me and say
You will remember too that this is our lovely day

(Pierre)
I'll remember, I'll remember
When the time has come for happiness to pay

(Both)
Sad and sighing, old and dying
I'll remember how we loved our lovely day
Our lovely day
Our lovely day.
