I Remember You
Björk Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I miss you
But I haven't met you yet
So special
But it hasn't happened yet
You are gorgeous
But I haven't met you yet
I remember
But it hasn't happened yet

And if you believe in dreams
Or what is more important
That a dream can come true
I will meet you

I was peaking
But it hasn't happened yet
I haven't been given
My best souvenir
I miss you
But I haven't met you yet
I know your habits
But wouldn't recognize you yet

And if you believe in dreams
Or what is more important
That a dream can come true
I will meet you

I'm so impatient
I can't stand the wait
When will I get my cuddle?
Who are you?

I know by now that you'll arrive
By the time I stop waiting





I miss you

I remember you,
You're the one that made my dreams come true
A few kisses ago.

I remember you,
You're the one that said, "I love you too,
Didn't you know?"

I remember too
A distant bell,
And stars that fell
Like rain, out of the blue.

When my life is through
And the angels ask me to recall
The thrill of them all,
I shall tell them I remember you.

Oh, you.
Oh, you.

@diversitydeliverer7094

The plot of perfect blue heavily resembles the whole ordeal regarding Richardo and bjork even though the script was done a year before it all went down

@joooood233

island dollx there are worst things in life. Don’t be so fragile. You couldn’t imagine the horrible things some one is going through right now, and you can’t help them either. You have to live with the knowledge that life is suffering
