Never Forget
Austin Jenckes Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

First time I saw you standing
On that perfect summer night
Every blade of grass was dancing
On the fourth day of July
You may not remember buying
That knock-my-feet red dress
To this day I've not seen nothing like it, woah
And I never will forget

That wind still blowing
Those trees a-swaying
I still see the sunshine on your face like it was yesterday, yesterday
Still caught up, in that moment
Girl you may not remember but I'll
Never forget, never forget, never forget

On a rainy day in August
I couldn't help but smile
You had one arm around your Daddy
Like an angel down the aisle
You may not remember crying
Or a single word that old preacher said
The tin cans on a string, bird feeder flyin
Oh, I never will forget

That wind still blowing
Those trees a-swaying
I still see the sunshine on your face like it was yesterday, yesterday
Still caught up, in that moment
Girl you may not remember but I'll
Never forget, never forget, never forget

When we've seen our last December
And all know is old and grey
Even if you don't remember
I'll be here anyway

Said the wind still blowing (the wind still blowing)
Those trees a-swaying
I still love you just same as I did yesterday, yesterday
I'm still caught up, (I'm still caught up) in that moment




Girl you may not remember but I'll
Never forget, never forget, never forget

Overall Meaning

The song "Never Forget" by Austin Jenckes is a beautiful tribute to memories and love in different moments of life. The verses revolve around two significant moments in two different summers where the singer remembers the details and how he felt at those times. The first part talks about the first time he saw the girl he loves, and he describes how the environment seemed to change with her presence. The imagery of the grass dancing and the red dress is a beautiful way to describe how he felt. However, what he remembers the most is how she made him feel. Even though she may not recall the specifics of that day or the dress, he never forgets that moment. The second part talks about the day she got married when she walked down the aisle with her father. The singer remembers the tin cans and the bird feeder flying, but what he remembers the most is the image of her face, which he can recall just as clearly as it was yesterday.


The chorus has a significant emotional impact as it repeats the idea of never forgetting those moments, even if the other person may not remember or they grow old together. The closing verse talks about how the love remains the same, whether they grow old or do not remember those moments. It is a touching song that encapsulates love, memories, and time, and how they all intertwine in our minds and hearts.


Line by Line Meaning

First time I saw you standing
The first time he saw her standing


On that perfect summer night
It was a perfect summer night


Every blade of grass was dancing
Even the grass seemed happy


On the fourth day of July
It was Independence day


You may not remember buying
She might not remember buying


That knock-my-feet red dress
But she wore a red dress that stole his heart


To this day I've not seen nothing like it, woah
He has never seen anything like the dress until today


And I never will forget
He will never forget the moment or the dress


That wind still blowing
The wind is still blowing


Those trees a-swaying
The trees are still swaying


I still see the sunshine on your face like it was yesterday, yesterday
He recalls the bright sunshine on her face


Still caught up, in that moment
He is still lost in the moment


Girl you may not remember but I'll
Even if she forgets, he won't


Never forget, never forget, never forget
He will never forget no matter what


On a rainy day in August
It was a rainy day in August


I couldn't help but smile
He was happy to be there


You had one arm around your Daddy
She had one arm around her father


Like an angel down the aisle
She looked like an angel walking down the aisle


You may not remember crying
She may not remember crying


Or a single word that old preacher said
Or what the preacher said


The tin cans on a string, bird feeder flyin
But he remembers the surroundings


Oh, I never will forget
He will never forget the moment


When we've seen our last December
When they grow old


And all know is old and grey
And everything is dull


Even if you don't remember
Even if she forgets


I'll be here anyway
He will still be there for her


Said the wind still blowing (the wind still blowing)
The wind is still blowing


I still love you just same as I did yesterday, yesterday
He still loves her the same as before


I'm still caught up, (I'm still caught up) in that moment
He is still nostalgic about the moment


Girl you may not remember but I'll
Even if she doesn't


Never forget, never forget, never forget
He will never forget their special moments
