Kenny Dorham
I Remember Clifford
I know he'll never be forgottenHe was a king uncrownedI know I'll always rememberThe warmth of his soundLingering long I'm sure he's still aroundFor those who heard they respect him yetSo those who hear won't forgetThe sound of each phraseEchoing time uncountable by daysThe things he played are with us nowAnd they'll endure should time allowOh yes I remember CliffordI seem to always fed him near somehowEvery day I hear his lovely toneIn every trumpet sound that has a beauty all its ownSo how can we say something so real has really gone away?I hear him now, I always willBelieve me I remember Clifford still.
