Verso 1: Right from the start let's get one thing straight When it comes to the heart you can't legislate Funny the things a fellow will remember sometimes Like the scene from the movie Citizen Kane One short moment with me remains Funny the things a fellow will remember sometimes When Bernstein says now you take me Stuck in my mind one memory I was crossing over to Jersey on the ferry As we pulled out another ferry pulled in A second between them was all it could have been And on it was a girl waiting to get off A white dress is what she had on One second later she was gone She never saw me at all,she carried a white parasol That was in eighteen ninety six And I bet a month hasn't gone by since That I haven't thought of that girl on the Jersey ferry Instrumental: (x4) Verso 2: Now it's nineteen forty one Nigh half a century been and gone And I still remember that girl with the white dress on A fleeting glimpse of chances missed Destiny or fates cruel twist She'd never even know that I exist, How about that Time is the ticket and the years the toll Did I mention she carried a white parasol Funny the things a fellow will remember sometimes Outro: (x8)
