Jump to: Overall Meaning | Line by Line Meaning
at sunrise
every sunset to
seemes to be bringing med memories of you
here and there
everywhere
semes that we ones knew
and they all just reacall
memories of you
how i wish i could forget those happiest of years
that have brought a rosery of tears
your face beems in my dreams
in spite of all i do
and everything seemes to bring memories of you
how wish i could forget those happiest of years
that have left a rosery of tears
oh your face beems in my dreams
in spiste of all i do
and everything
its seemes to bring
memories of you

The chorus reflects on the inability to forget the happiest years spent with this person and how they are now accompanied by tears. The second verse reiterates this idea, with the vivid image of the person's face appearing frequently in dreams despite efforts to move on. The final line of the song suggests that memories of this person are simply an inescapable part of life now.
