Memories Of You
Charlie Christian Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Waking skies, at sunrise
Every sunset too
Seems to be, bringing me
Memories of you

Here and there, every where
Scenes that we once knew
And they all, just recall
Memories of you

(Oh) How I wish I could forget those, (those) happy yesteryears
That have left a rosary of tears

Your face beams,in my dreams
(In) Spite of all (that) I do




(And) Everything,seems to bring
Memories of you

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Memories of You" convey the sentiment of nostalgia and longing. The opening lines of "Waking skies, at sunrise, every sunset too" suggests that every moment of the day, whether it's the start or end, reminds the singer of the person they miss. This is reinforced by the next lines "seems to be, bringing me, memories of you." The repetition of "memories of you" emphasizes its significance to the singer.


The second stanza continues the theme of memories, and how everywhere the singer goes, they are reminded of the past with their loved one: "Here and there, every where, scenes that we once knew, and they all, just recall, memories of you." The third line hints at the bittersweet tone of the lyrics: "How I wish I could forget those, happy yesteryears, that have left a rosary of tears." The happy memories of the past burden the singer with tears, which they wish they could forget.


The final stanza concludes with the idea that even in the singer's dreams, they can't escape the memories of the person they miss. "Your face beams, in my dreams, spite of all I do, and everything seems to bring memories of you." The use of the word "spite" suggests that the singer has tried to move on, but the memories still persist. The emotions conveyed in these few stanzas are relatable to anyone who has experienced loss, heartbreak, or the longing for a past love.
