Try To Remember - Jones-Schmidt (The Fantastics)

"Try To Remember" is a beautiful and simple waltz from the musical The Fantastics by Jones and Schmidt. It premiered in 1960 and was first sung by Jerry Orbach (of later Broadway and Law & Order fame) in the original cast. It is in AABA form. I have included melody cue notes in text fields above some of the chords.

A lead sheet for "Try To Remember" can be found in The Ultimate Fake Book, The Ultimate Broadway Fake Book, and The Original Musician's Legal Fake Book.

This is not really a jazz tune, but I think it belongs here rather than in Pop, Rock & Blues.
