Joey Albert’s “I Remember the Boy”

The Song I Remember the Boy was written by Jose Mari Chan and originally sung by Joey Albert in 1980s. This song became a hit in the Philippines in the late 80s. In 1999, this song was included in Lea Salonga’s album titled “By Heart”. In 2009, Christian Bautista did a remake of “I Remember the Girl” in his album “Romance Revisited”.

I Remember the Boy

Today I heard them play the song again
An old familiar strain from way back when
Every note and every line
It's always been a fav'rite song of mine


It used to haunt me so some years ago
Reminds me of a boy I used to know
And although the melody lives on
The mem'ries and the boy are all but gone


REFRAIN
And while the song still brings that certain glow
And the words still sing of love I know
It isn't quite the way it was before
I remember the boy but I don't remember the feeling anymore


The promises we made seem easier then
As if we knew our love would never end
But seasons change and time erases the tears
As swiftly as the rivers disappear


REFRAIN
So while the song still brings that certain glow
And the words still sing of love I know
It isn't quite the way it was before
I remember the boy but I don't remember the feeling
I remember the boy but I don't remember the feeling anymore
