I Remember You
♫ Skid Row Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The wind would whisper and I'd think of you
And all the tears you cried, that called my name
And when you needed me I came through
I paint a picture of the days gone by
When love went blind and you would make me see
I'd stare a lifetime into your eyes
Time after time you there for me
Remember yesterday, walking hand in hand
Love letters in the sand, I remember you
Through the sleepless nights through every endless day
I'd want to hear you say, I remember you oh oh
We spent the summer with the top rolled down
Wished ever after would be like this
You said I love you babe, without a sound
I said I'd give my life for just one kiss
I'd live for your smile and die for your kiss
Remember yesterday, walking hand in hand
Love letters in the sand, I remember you
Through the sleepless nights through every endless day
I'd want to hear you say, I remember you
We've had our share of hard times
But that's the price we paid
And through it all we kept the promise that we made
I swear you'll never be lonely
Woke up to the sound of pouring rain
Washed away a dream of you
But nothing else could ever take you away
'Cause you'll always be my dream come true
Oh my darling, I love you
Remember yesterday, walking hand in hand
Love letters in the sand, I remember you
Through the sleepless nights through every endless day
I'd want to hear you say, I remember you
Remember yesterday walking hand in hand
Love letters in the sand I remember you
Through the sleepless nights, through every endless day
I'd wanna hear you say I remember, I remember you, oh yeah

Woke up to the sound of pouring rain
I woke up to the sound of rain falling outside my window
The wind would whisper and I'd think of you
The wind would softly blow and it would remind me of you
And all the tears you cried, that called my name
I remember all the times you cried and called out my name for help
And when you needed me I came through
I was always there for you when you needed someone to rely on
I paint a picture of the days gone by
I reminisce about the past and think back on how things used to be
When love went blind and you would make me see
When I couldn't see clearly, you helped me see the truth about our love
I'd stare a lifetime into your eyes
Looking into your eyes, I knew that you were the one for me
So that I knew that you were there for me
I knew that I could always count on you to be there for me
Time after time you there for me
Over and over again, you were always there for me
Through the sleepless nights through every endless day
Even during the long, difficult days and nights when I couldn't sleep, I thought of you
We spent the summer with the top rolled down
We had a wonderful time driving around with the top of the car down during the summertime
Wished ever after would be like this
I hoped that our future together would be as happy as those summer days were
You said I love you babe, without a sound
You told me you loved me without saying a word
I said I'd give my life for just one kiss
I loved you so much that I was willing to risk my life just to kiss you once more
We've had our share of hard times
We've gone through some difficult times together
But that's the price we paid
We had to go through those hard times in order to be where we are now
And through it all we kept the promise that we made
Despite the challenges we faced, we always kept our promise to stand by each other
I swear you'll never be lonely
I promise that you will never be alone, because I will always be there for you
Washed away a dream of you
The rain washed away the dream I had of you
But nothing else could ever take you away
No matter what happens, nothing can ever separate us
'Cause you'll always be my dream come true
You are everything I've ever wanted and dreamed of

Since I was born they couldn't hold me down
Another misfit kid, another burned-out town
Never played by the rules I never really cared
My nasty reputation takes me everywhere
I look and see it's not only me
So many others have stood where I stand
We are the young so raise your hands
They call us problem child
We spend our lives on trial
We walk an endless mile
We are the youth gone wild
We stand and we won't fall
We're the one and one for all
The writing's on the wall
We are the youth gone wild
Boss screamin' in my ear about who I'm supposed to be
Getcha a 3-piece Wall Street smile and son you'll look just like me
I said "Hey man, there's something that you oughta know.
I tell ya Park Avenue leads to Skid Row."
I look and see it's not only me
We're standin' tall ain't never a doubt
We are the young, so shout it out
They call us problem child
We spend our lives on trial
We walk an endless mile
We are the youth gone wild
We stand and we won't fall
We're the one and one for all
The writing's on the wall
We are the youth gone wild
They call us problem child
We spend our lives on trial
We walk an endless mile
We are the youth gone wild
We stand and we won't fall
We're the one and one for all
The writing's on the wall
We are the youth gone wild
We are the youth gone wild

I'm 47 years old, and still part of this crowd.
I AM the youth gone wild. I will never - EVER - be over 18.

For me, the best song from their debut album alongside 18 And Life. Pure masterpiece!

Обожаю Skid Row, с Бахом на вокале. Один из лучших вокалистов, за всю историю рок-музыки! ❤🤟
F.I.O.
Это хеви-метал, точнее глэм-метал, но без гламура
Shane Page Music & Things
This was one of Skid Row's really most underated song to me personally. Damn I'm 45 now and miss when music like this actually had a message.
