Bacharach & David Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And every step I take recalls how much in love we used to be
Oh, how can I forget you?
When there is always something there to remind me
Always something there to remind me
I was born to love you, and I will never be free
You'll always be a part of me, whoa oh whoa
When shadows fall, I passed a small cafe where we would dance at night
And I can't help recalling how it felt to kiss and hold you tight
Oh, how can I forget you?
When there is always something there to remind me
Always something there to remind me
I was born to love you, and I will never be free
You'll always be a part of me, whoa oh whoa
Whoa oh, whoa oh
If you should find you miss the sweet and tender love we used to share
Just come back to the places where we used to go, and I'll be there
Oh, how can I forget you?
When there is always something there to remind me
Always something there to remind me
I was born to love you, and I will never be free
You'll always be a part of me, whoa oh whoa
(Shalala dupdup shalala)
Never love another, baby (Shalala dupdup shalala)
I never will forget you, baby (Shalala dupdup shalala)
Ohh, you'll always be a part of me (Shalala dupdup shalala)
(Shalala dupdup shalala) Whoa
(Shalala dupdup shalala)
I'll never love another, baby
Never love another, baby

Excellent song! The 1950's through the 1980's was the golden age of music for me.

Burt Bacharach is my ALL TIME favorite composer. His music is easy and smooth to the ear. One can never forget his style or fail to recognize the melody the moment you hear it. His compositions are a time capsule of the 1960's. Burt's music eased the soul during a turbulent time. A discovered a while back that Burt Bacharach and I share the same high school. Both of us are alumni of Forest Hills High School in Queens, New York. Mr. Bacharach was the Class of 1946, I myself the Class of 1975. THANK YOU Burt for enriching my life and many millions more with your music. You are second to none.

No kidding! I never would've known. Love his music and glad to hear he's from Queens. I'm from Elmhurst myself, only a couple train stops from Forest Hills. Cheers!
