MUSIC: Helen Miller / LYRICS: Estelle Levitt
We wrote on the corner of the table
This is the only one that will last
For you, for me, for always
Forever was made for us but
For us it went by too fast
Don't say you don't remember
I'll never love anyone else
If you say you don't remember
How can I go on living with myself?
When we meet you always call me "baby"
How could it be that you forgot my name?
Before you go, be honest
I belonged to you and
Believed that you felt the same
Don't say you don't remember
I'll never love anyone else
If you say you don't remember
How can I go on living with myself?
People never stay the same forever
Somebody always loves a little more
Tonight I need to love you
Together we'll find a way
To make tomorrow worth living for
Don't say you don't remember
I'll never love anyone else
If you say you don't remember
How can I go on living with myself?
************************************************
This 70s heartache ballad by Beverly Bremers is so good, it deserves its own video... so I made one. The photos are from Beverly's website (check it out):
www.beverlybremers.com/
Released in 1971, then re-released in 1972, "Don't Say..." peaked at #15 on the charts in February 1972.
Beverly Bremers remembers composer Helen Miller on Helen's memorial Facebook page:
"Helen Miller was a genius, a lunatic, and a tough cookie, who lived life to the fullest - loud & large. It was a privilege to work with her on "Don't Say You Don't Remember". She knew what she wanted & she got it. I also recorded the demos for "Inner City" with her and the amazing Carl Hall, who later performed in the show. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to be in it because of a commitment to another show, but I sure wish I could've. Great songs in that show! What an amazing body of work she created in her life! Anyone who has ever crossed paths with this complex woman will always remember her ; - ) I miss her music, her spirit, & her dirty jokes. I even miss her yelling at me."
--Beverly Bremers, Feb. 17, 2011

Beverly....you were back on the American Top 40 Countdown this morning on Sirius XM 70s On 7 with Casey Kasem! Don’t Say You Don’t Remember was #17 on March 11, 1972-50 Years Ago! What a wonderful song to hear on a cold winter Sunday morning in Cleveland, Ohio! Hope all is well! Bob Berdys
Love your song ,your voice. Beautiful.
@@robertberdys2715 Didn't know Sirius played AT40--I'll have to listen. It'll remind me of when I was in Cleveland in the 70s. Cleveland was a disaster then, but it was so much fun to be at Case and on my own. And the music was great!
I've made it to 69yrs old still married to the same girl since 1975 and still coming back to this beautiful song. Don't we miss the 70's!
beta dudes love that same-o same-o P
Im 67 miss late 60s and 70s great music brings back good memories... of better days
Who is still loving this song in 2020??
Me, right here in NC! This song has always hit me in a very deep place
LOst my childhood sweetheart 5 years ago. This song brings back so many memories from 1971-1972.
Me in New Jersey.
♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Kim Clark Me, too, Kim. It touches my soul and breaks my heart. It came out the same year my husband and I got married... he is gone now.
Hey everybody, I haven't checked in for awhile, for which I apologize. Thank you for all your wonderful comments! Sometimes, I don't get a chance to answer all of them, but I SO appreciate your kind words of affection for me & my record. Love you!
One of my all-time favorite songs of any era! Never tire of hearing it! Thank you, Ms. Bremers, for giving us this song! Best wishes always!
Such a great song at great time in the history of music.....David Cassidy was in here also, Sad.
BEAUTIFUL SONG...WAS 16 WHEN I FIRST HEARD IT...BRINGS BACK NICE MEMORIES
Beverly Bremers absolutely one of the best So glad I found it on you tube
heartfull music
A real tear jerker song from my youth when I still believed in true love!
I played this song more than 50 years ago as a young disc
jockey. Today when I'm driving along and it suddenly comes on the radio without me expecting it, WOW! Thank you, Beverly, for my favorite song.
love this song sirius oldies doesnt play it enough
Back when music was worth listenin' to.
Got that right..
Wonder if she ever really knew just how great this song was, I'm sure she knows now, thanks Beverly.
the good ole days of music! glad i was young then!
I so wish we still had this kind of beautiful music !! Love her voice and this song so much.
Beverly had a beautiful singing voice.. It's too bad she didn't have anymore hit songs and she isn't too well known by the public as being a singer
Yes what happened to good music
Thanks for your lovely comments! I actually had another Top 40 hit called, "We're Free", but it was not played everywhere because of what was thought to be controversial lyrics. I've also been active over the years in the theatre, such as "Hair" & "The Rocky Horror Show".
Me, too❤❤❤❤❤❤
@@shilohbreigh3591 love this song brings back memories
One of the greatest songs of the early 1970s and the most underrated.
This song still brings a lump in my throat and tears to my eyes. Lots of memories. I don't think anyone could have hit it better than Beverly Bremers. Thanks for the memories.
Joe I agree. Memories of high school and being in love. It was a time without COVID19 virus and Mom and Dad were still living. Stay safe.
@@usmc-veteran73-77 it's such a pretty song those
@@johnpowers652 yes a beautiful song. Love to return to 1971/1972, and being in high school, at South Charleston High, in West Virginia. Semper Fi
@@usmc-veteran73-77 , I joined the Army in 1974 and would catch up on the current hits at the NCO clubs where I was stationed . Miss those days. And, thank you for your service!
Beautiful song, gorgeous voice❤️❤️❤️❤️
Locked down at home, listening to this song. How about you?
Me too, here in Charleston West Virginia. When this was a hit I was in high school and so in love. Love to return to 1971/1972 no COVID19 virus and Mom and Dad were still living.
🔐 locked down too Crystal in Virginia Beach Virginia and this song reminds me of my ex girlfriend how she broke my ❤ heart and left me dry. I hope she had a good life. I cried for 3 months...lol..
So everytime I hear this song, the memories are bittersweet...Peace and 💘 Love...
"...somebody always loves a little more...", ain't that the truth.
Brings me back to a time in my life when like was sweet and simple.
Me too!
Such a beautiful song. Shame there are still internet, miserable trolls giving this a thumbs down. The music and her voice will drown out any hater!
Beautiful song, she was beautiful then and NOW. Miss the 70s, I'd go back to the 70s and stay.
I agree with you! How could anyone give this song a thumbs down? Maybe they don't appreciate good music.
Thumbs down ??? I can't fathom
that at all. This IS a beautiful song.
I was a freshman in high school
when this came out and bought
the 45. I loved it then and still do.
@@usmc-veteran73-77 So would I, esp. with all the lessons I've learned since
@paulconnors2078 I hear you, Paul. I'm not sure how old you were in the 1970s. I turned 15 yrs old in 1970. By 1973, I was in the United States Marine Corps. By 1974, I was on Okinawa at Camp Foster. By 1977, I'd finished my 4 yrs in the Marine Corps. As you see, the 70s were busy for me. Semper Fi
Ah, the early seventies. I remember it well. Redbone, Carly Simon, the Adrisi Brothers ..so many great songs. This was one of them. A world gone away...of excellence in all things. Hold your memories near, dear Baby Broomers. It will never be again.
I fell in love with my future wife during this time...listening to this beautiful song. I do remember the picnics, miniature golf, days at the shore and walking the Boardwalk. It's too bad no one has invented a time machine....So we could all go back, even for a few minutes...
a time machine beats living in todays Jacked up world.
I was that awkward 14 year old who sang to songs on the radio in my bedroom every night. This one ALWAYS made me cry. Now, at 60, it still brings a tear; but, fortunately, I've learned to deal with life's disappointments with a lot less angst. Such a heart-rending song.
Not always. Then, you pretty much assumed you had a lot of years for more. NOW, well, time is winding down.
So many fond memories I love you Beverly
Thank you, gentlemen, for your nice comments & Christmas wishes! I wish you all a very happy, healthy holiday season!
+Beverly Bremers Merry Christmas to you too, Beverly! :D
+Beverly Bremers You are a wonderful vocalist. I was so glad to find this recording, It still holds its own, even in 2015!
+Beverly Bremers You are beautiful and so is you voice. What great memories.
+Beverly, hope you had a wonderful holiday season. Thank you for your music.
+Ron Gregory I did, Ron, thanks! I hope you did, too!
What a beautiful song takes me back to the good old days of good music.
Beverly, This great song makes you one of the BEST of the BEST. Marc :)
she is not only beautiful, but also has the voice of an angel !
60 baby love this song!
John, 60's& 70's had the best music! 😍the oldies
Absolutely beautiful song ! They don't make them like they used to! Brings back incredible memories!!
I didn't realize this was on UA-cam. From the arrangement, the songwriting to the knock out vocal, this record stands tall even today. I was a child, and I still remember it well.
I was a teenager when this came out, and it was a smash hit that got loads of AM air time. It's among other songs that bring back great memories of high school and growing up. Thanks Beverly.
Thank you all for your lovely, heart-felt comments about this record - the song written by the fabulous Helen Miller & Estelle Levitt, the arrangement (Charlie Calello, a musical genius), the production by Helen Miller & David Lipton, and my performance on it. Your compliments fill my heart with joy! It seems that almost everyone has a very special memory & story to coincide with this recording, which is sweet & amazing. I truly appreciate you all, even if you don't remember me or thought I was Donny Osmond. ;- ) FYI, I did have another hit, "We're Free", which actually was banned on many radio stations (absurd by later standards) and I have continued to record & perform to this day. Thanks for creating & posting this video, OceanKingNY, and big hugs to you all!
+Beverly Bremers Well done, Bev! :-) I was like about 3 or 4 at the time this song came out, but I only discovered it here while back for the first time, and I gotta say I love this song! It should have most definitely gone higher on the charts than what it did.
+Beverly Bremers Good for you Beverly,music is such a wonderful gift, I'm glad you still sing, love your voice and love "Don't say you don't remember".
+Beverly Bremers Beverly it is always wonderful hearing you sing this song! It is a real blessing to listen to it. I love the feeling you put into the song, it is timeless! I always think of the ones I never won and and this makes me feel blessed to have tried even though I never won! God Bless you and your Wonderful Voice!
+Kinseydsp Thank you so much for your nice comments! And remember that you're a winner!
+Ken Jakubowski Thanks, Ken! You make me feel good all over. :-)
This is one heart wrenching ballad. everyone has had that someone who.
I so remember crying to this....😊😢
I still do......
Always an impressive song, then and now. Well-harmonized and arranged. Too bad Ms. Bremers didn't become a much bigger star with more top hits.
I think she also did a lot of work on Broadway, so her career was split between making records for the radio and doing the non-radio thing on Broadway. But you're right. It seems like her record company could have found more hits for her. This song was a "hit" and Beverly made it that much better.
Songs I know the word to: "Don't Say You Don't Remember". Yes in the 70's we had beautiful ballads.
I haven't heard this beautiful song in decades. Thank you Miss Beverly.
2024 came across this tonight looking for the wonderful female singers from 60’s and 70’s. WOW haven’t heard this in a really long time even though I listen to lots of music on UA-cam. It was a wonderful surprise for me. I truly love this song and had forgotten about it until tonight. Thank you for bringing it back to the front of my brain once again
Beverly, you should have been a star with a long singing career.
A beautiful and timeless classic from Beverly Bremers. It was a much simpler time to be growing up. I love this amazing song...I'll always remember!
This song was and is Beverly Bremers' masterpiece. She sings it with such feeling and depth one cannot help but to feel touched every time one hears it. Many songs are nice but few have this characteristic of touching those who hear it.
I heard this on the radio on a long drive home the other night. It went on instant replay in my head for the next few days. I remembered it from my long lost youth.
Beautiful song by a beautiful lady.
Still a beautiful song that has truly stood the test of time. Thanks Beverly for making the world a better place 😘
People never stay the same forever.
Someone always loves a little more.
Words of wisdom
Yes. But the words in simple man by Lynyrd skynyrd are the best advice ever. Great advice to anyone young or old
This still touches my heart...when music made sense. Love it!!!!!!
If I live to be 100 I will never understand why Bremers didn't go on to enjoy hit after hit.
She had a truly wonderful voice; was actually a far better singer than many of her
contemporaries. She also certainly was easy on the eyes too. It's so sad that she didn't
go on to conquer the charts. :(
That’s very true!!
Brings goose bumps just like when I was 15
Love this song. Sung with such feeling. My youth my first love
I was a high school senior when this hit the airwaves. Now, at 63, this takes on new meaning.
They don't write songs like this anymore. This song brings back so many memories.
Beverly - was going through some older CDs tonight and found this wonderful song - 62 years old now, and could sing every word along with you after all these years. Thank you!
This is one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard. Not only the music and the lyrics are very good but the singer has such a good voice so full of feeling as she sings this song it never fails to move me. This one is Beverly's masterpiece really. What could be better than this?
I forgot all about this song until I heard it on one of those throw back Saturday night radio shows. One of the most beautiful songs, I just get chills when I here it makes me think of a long lost love. Hard to believe it doesn't get more airplay.
This song takes me back. Teenage love...sigh🥺
Downright gorgeous and touching. Beverly's delivery is perfect and the arrangement is moving, as are the lyrics. I wish that younger people would come to see the beauty of such good music and abandon the electronica and auto-tune musical culture in which beauty, body parts and personal success seem to be the dominant considerations. As a man, I love the lyrics to this song and the valid message of a woman who says: "I value your love - where is it?" "People never stay the same forever." Such meaningful lyrics. Well done, Beverly! A song that always touches me.
I agree.
I agree.
I agree
Thank you so much! I really appreciate your nice comments!
I Loved The 1970's I'm 71 yrs. old and this is one of the Great Songs of The 1970's My Doesn't Time Fly By !😇😪😘
This is one of my favorite songs of all time! It always brings me back to my senior year in High School! It is so exceptionally beautiful! Thank you Beverly!
Me too, senior in high school. One of my favorites
Love this song and Beverly’s voice.
Beverly has such a beautiful voice..... only problem with this song is it has a ending..... Thank you Beverly for 3 minutes of heavenly joy
I hear this and go back to the early 70s. I miss that time.
Beverly Bremer is such an awesome singer!!!
This is a lady of class and talent
I would have to give this song a shot in the top 50 of all time. Such meaning, beautiful voice, and beautiful background music.
I used to think I was only one of a few people that remembered and loved this song - HA was I ever wrong! Over 2M views?? How awesome!!
OMG, I PLAYED THIS 8 TIMES ALREADY AND CANT GET ENOUGH!!! THIS IS MUSIC!!!! WILL SEND THIS TO THE WOMEN I LOVE.

+Snack Daddy Agree! It's grt to have an Artist comment back to you about her song!!!!
My pleasure! It's nice to be remembered. :-)
I appreciate everybody's comments!
@@beverlybremers1 We don't say we don't remember!
Hi, I am from the State of Mexico, and I would like to thank Beverly for this unforgettable and beautiful song. This masterpiece takes me back in time, when my parents lived, they were young and used to play this song and dance peacefully, smiling and holding each other when I was a 6 year old girl. Nowadays, many, many years later I remember those good old days and sometimes when I listen again to this sweet song ... my tears just come out like that and reminds me of not only my parents, but also the great days by my only sister, brothers and rest of the family I lost due to misunderstandings, all this after my parents passed away, just because of foolish material interests that finally ended up with a broken relationship between us, as this song says ... FOR ALWAYS ... HOWEVER ... THANK YOU BEVERLY FOR SUCH AN UNFORGETTABLE LOVELY SONG.
This classic song sung beautifully by singer and actress Beverly Bremmers was recorded in 1971 with beautiful orchestrations and fantastic backup singers was recorded 6 years before I was born in 1978. Thank you for posting and sharing this classic song! I love it!
Stumbled across this beautiful song haven't heard it in sooo long ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Timeless song really this one is good to hear anyplace and anytime no matter if it is cold, warm, dry, rainy or snowy. I have always liked the beautiful voice of Beverly Bremers.
This song is so beautiful it is still a great song to hear nearlly half a Century later. Beverly did a great job on this one as she sings it with feeling and sounds as if she really means what she is saying. Still one of my favorites.
Don't say this isn't one beautiful song..the orchestral, the vocalist. So beautifully sad, soulful and meaningful, nostalgic. Sigh......
Wow!! Just listening to some of the heartbreaker memory makers ........ I saw “Don’t say you don’t Remember” Tears came rolling out of my eyes. I haven’t heard that song for at least 40 years, but when it started playing I could sing the arrangement, and every single word. I loved this song! I am so happy to have it back in my life. Thank you! Thank you!
And PLEASE ......... Don’t Say You Don’t Remember!
I have had this song stuck in my head for 40+ years, and I didn’t know the title or the artist that sang this song. But I knew if I kept at it, I would get both title and artist. I found out a couple of years ago, and wow! I’ve got my satisfaction. This song was on the radio in the Atlanta area back in the 70’s on WQXI , and I would wait patiently until the song would play again. This song ranks into my all time favorite songs, because it has such a hauntingly beautiful melody. And then the lyrics! Somebody always loves a little more. That is so true! Thank you Beverly , for giving this song to us. It’s a gift from God, sung by an angel!! Can it get any better than that?!
I'd love to return 70s when this was a hit I was in high school and so in love. I was 17 yrs old back in 1972
Interesting. I only remembered hearing the title sung, not the rest. I was 11 at the time and don't think it was played much. Had I heard the rest, I would have played it over and over, as I am doing now. On the other hand, How Can You Mend A Broken Heart was released the same month, and had tons of airplay. As good as that is, this song is even better.
great song Bev. brings back memories. Didnt get the recognition is deserved.
Listening to this wonderful song on a loop, can't get enough of it. I'll be 74 Monday, and this song takes me back to truly happier time in my life. Funny how music brings back joy and sadness. For now I'm in a great place...Thank you Beverly!!!!!!
What a great voice, with that quality of being womanly and sweetly girlish at the same time, like Ella Fitzgerald.
I love this voice, but Ella? Get a grip!
Lately I’ve been thinking about my boyfriend in high school…..even to the extent that I have been dreaming of him.
This song is my favorite in terms of memories that will never fade!!!!!!
One of those songs that were so well performed they are still nice to hear now 47 years later. I always liked the natural way, so sincere sounding in which Beverly sang this song. For me this is her masterpiece.
I hear this song,,, and my youth and first loves come flooding back,, still,,, after a lifetime. ❤
My wife and I were dating in high school when this song came out and we still stop and slow dance to it when its on the radio. We are now happily married after 46 years and 2 years courtship. Thank you Beverley. We both love you!!! Terry and Dee
Beverly, I was 15 when this song was released. Even at that young age I knew this song was about love and I found myself singing alone. It was a wonderful time in my childhood. Thank you for such a beautiful song. God Bless.
Still loving this song. What a beautiful, robust voice! This is what made music so great!
PS: June, 2020!
Spring 1972. 8th grade, i'm still loving it in 2021.
Ah, 1972.....takes me back to those childhood memories.
Listening to this beautiful song Thanksgiving 2021, I was 11 in 1971!! 61 now!!
This is a splendid song because Beverly's voice sounds so natural without being forced. She sang it with depth and with very much feeling so one responds when hearing this masterpiece of a song. Truly one of the best songs I have ever heard in my 71 years.
I just found this song carved into a hidden part of my headboard with the name of the love of my life. I was 16, he was 18. Although we went on to lead different lives, we remained forever in love and never lost touch. After 47 years tonight I’m going to show him the carving and play your song which has so much meaning for us both.
This one will never grow old.
when I first heard this on the radio, I thought it was the Osmands. When I found out it was Beverly Bremers and what she looked like, instant crush! That was along time ago; still have the crush!
I THOUGH IS WAS DONNY SINGING THIS SONG ALSO!
What an amazing song , sounds so much like Donny, and Donny had the same higher pitched voice as well.
What a voice....man, i am surprised she didn't have more Hits. Bravo Ms. Bemers
You are kidding , right ? I hope .
I wondered why she didn't have any more hits also.
What a gorgeous voice!
Yes, beautiful voice. Memories of high school and being in love.
A voice that is both girlish and womanly at the same time ...
BEAUTIFUL SONG AND MUSIC FROM BACK IN THE DAYS LOVE THIS SONG MEMORIES FROM BACK IN TIME .❤
one of the best songs of the the 70 s
This song's message is universal...I mean, who hasn't felt the pain of unrequited love at some point in their life?

I could be young again when I hear this forgotten gem.
One of the best pop songs ever written.
This song makes me cry brings me to my younger years
Joyce, we've all been there. This song played around 1971/1972. I was 16/17 when it played. So in love at 16 yrs old, then she broke up.
A timeless 1970' classic song.
This is by far the best song of that era, and in 2019 STILL my favorite song ever, listen to it daily..thank you for so many memories to this song....
Thank you SO much for your Response. It's mean, So much to get the Response's l have been getting . Have a VERY MERRY Christmas, And a HAPPY New year.God Bless.
This reminds me of my 14 year old crush…
We listened to this song over and over.. she’s gone now but the memories live on
Where did that beautiful melody and voice come from? They had to come from heaven.
How cool....and thoughtful.....and appreciative....is that Beverly posts comments periodically to thank people for THEIR comments and to thank think...….Beverly....we DO remember......and so do you......thanks
Listening and loving this. Back in 71 and now. Thanks so much.
To My Dear Beverly Bremers , I was all of 10 but this song always stuck in my head, I Often Sing it At Karaoke, and think of my junior high girlfriend. Joanne
The best music came from the 60's and 70's what a great voice and song.
I had forgotten this song. I LOVE THIS SONG. STILL BREAKS MY HEART.
How could anyone thumbs down this! Disturbed, how sad.
Holy shit!!!!!
You replied!!!!!
I hope life has been good to you....
Beautiful song beautiful lady
