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 For all those who've heard Truly, they repeat him yet Even yet
So those that hear won't forget And the ever-present sound That abounds in his phrase Echoes 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' round' 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 stay 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
