From The Fantasticks. I had forgotten that it was based on an earlier play by Edmond Rostand, more famous for "Cyrano de Bergerac."
Is this my favorite song? Might be. Knowing it in the context of the play gives it extra poignancy (if such a thing is possible), and the only time I saw it, my father played Mortimer, magnificently.

Back in 2002, when the run ended, a NPR story on the musical said that Try to Remember brought extra tears after 9/11.
My wife likes "Plant a Radish."
I've never seen it; probably should remedy that someday.
