Ed Ames (born Edmund Dantes Urick on July 9, 1927) is an American popular singer and actor. He is best known for his pop and adult contemporary hits of the 1960s like "When the Snow is on the Roses" and the perennial "My Cup Runneth Over". He was part of a popular 1950s singing group called The Ames Brothers.
Ames was born in Malden, Massachusetts to Jewish parents who had immigrated from Ukraine. He was the youngest of nine children, including five boys and four girls.[citation needed]
Ames grew up in a poor household. He attended the Boston Latin School and was educated in Classical and Opera music, as well as literature.[citation needed]
While still in high school, the brothers formed a quartet and often won competitions around the Boston area. Three of the brothers later formed the Amory Brothers quartet and went to New York, where they were hired by bandleader Art Mooney. Playwright Abe Burrows helped the brothers along the way, suggesting the siblings change their group's name to the Ames Brothers.[citation needed]

Ed Ames - Try To Remember
Like the dream taken from the dreamer
Like the streamer sailing out to sea
Like the sinking sun when day is done
My love is gone from me
Like the star vanished from the heavens
Like the red leaves fallen from the trees
Like the winter storm that comes no more
My love is gone from me
Where are the days we used to know
Roaming through the hills and the shore
When will I find true love again
Never, never more
Like the fawn fading in the shadows
Like a wild bird suddenly set free
Like the April day that slips away
My love is gone from me
Like the dream taken from the dreamer
Like the streamer sailing out to sea
Like the sinking sun when day is done
