Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Unforgettable though near or far
Like a song of love that clings to me
How the thought of you does things to me
Never before has someone been more
Unforgettable in every way
And forever more, that's how you'll stay
That someone so unforgettable
Thinks that I am unforgettable too
The lyrics to Aretha Franklin's rendition of "Unforgettable," arranged by Robert Mersey, express that the subject of the song is unforgettable in every way. The use of repetition in the opening line emphasizes this point, as it is reminiscent of how one might remember a particularly significant event or memory. The lyrics also suggest that the subject's impact on the singer is so strong that it is comparable to a love song that "clings" to them. This imagery conveys the idea that the subject is always present in the singer's thoughts and that the mere thought of them can elicit strong emotions.
Additionally, the lyrics suggest that the subject is just as moved by the singer as the singer is by them. The line "Thinks that I am unforgettable too" indicates that the relationship between the two is reciprocal and that both parties are equally impacted by the other. Overall, the lyrics celebrate the strength of a bond between two people and convey the idea that this bond is both powerful and enduring.
