I''ll Remember April
Andre Previn's Trio Jazz Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

This lovely day will lengthen into evening
We'll sigh goodbye to all we ever had
Alone where we have walked together
I'll remember April and be glad

I'll be content you loved me once in April
Your lips were warm and love and spring were new
I'm not afraid of autumn and her sorrow
For I'll remember April and you

The fire will dwindle into glowing ashes
For flames live such a little while




I won't forget but I won't be lonely
I'll remember April and smile

Line by Line Meaning

This lovely day will lengthen into evening
The beautiful day will eventually turn into night


We'll sigh goodbye to all we ever had
We'll sadly bid farewell to our past memories and experiences together


Alone where we have walked together
I'll be in the same place where we used to walk together, but now I'll be solo


I'll remember April and be glad
I'll fondly recall the month of April and feel happy that I experienced those moments


I'll be content you loved me once in April
I'll be satisfied that you loved me at least once in your life, during the month of April


Your lips were warm and love and spring were new
Your kisses were affectionate, and our love was novel and fresh like the season of Spring


I'm not afraid of autumn and her sorrow
I'm not scared of Fall and its sadness that it might bring


For I'll remember April and you
Because I'll recollect the time we shared in April, and how we were together


The fire will dwindle into glowing ashes
The passion between us will eventually fade away over time


For flames live such a little while
The strong emotions we felt in the past were fleeting and didn't last forever


I won't forget but I won't be lonely
I'll never forget our time together, but I won't feel alone because of the memories we shared


I'll remember April and smile
I'll recall April with happiness and joy because of our memories together

Andreas Hasenfratz

André Previn was one of the greatest and most creative jazz pianists and remarkable conductors who ever existed.

Ernest Tarling

Andre is just the greatest; changes keys all the time. Musicality and rhythm.

Susan Llequis

Costumbre de Los pianistas
de Jazz esprimir la sangre a la cancion como si únicamente existiera la melodía sin letra originalmente.Que pasa,sin conocer la letra quizás no hubiese escogido la canción.Previn es mi músico favorito como pianista,director y compositor.
