In My Life
Davy Spillane Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All my life, though some have changed
Some forever, not for better
Some have gone and some remain
All these places had their moments
With lovers and friends, I still can recall
Some are dead and some are living
In my life, I've loved them all
But of all these friends and lovers
There is no one compares with you
And these memories lose their meaning
When I think of love as something new
Though I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I'll often stop and think about them
In my life, I'll love you more
Though I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I'll often stop and think about them
In my life, I'll love you more

Line by Line Meaning
There are places I'll remember
Throughout my life, I have come across memorable places
All my life, though some have changed
Although the places have changed, they still remain important in my life
Some forever, not for better
Unfortunately, some places have stayed the same and not improved
Some have gone and some remain
Some places have disappeared while others have stayed
All these places had their moments
All places have had their time of significance
With lovers and friends, I still can recall
I have memories of these places with loved ones and friends
Some are dead and some are living
Some people who shared these experiences with me are deceased while others are still alive
In my life, I've loved them all
Despite everything, I cherish all the memories of these places and people
But of all these friends and lovers
Out of everyone I have encountered and loved
There is no one compares with you
You, in particular, are unmatched
And these memories lose their meaning
The memories of these places and people cease to hold significance
When I think of love as something new
However, thinking about loving you makes me realize how fresh and new love can be
Though I know I'll never lose affection
Even though my love for them will never fade
For people and things that went before
For those who have passed away or those who came before you
I know I'll often stop and think about them
I tend to reminisce about them frequently
In my life, I'll love you more
But nothing can compare to my love for you
Though I know I'll never lose affection
Again, even though my love for others will always be present
For people and things that went before
Those who have passed or come before you
I know I'll often stop and think about them
I'll always reflect on them and the memories they bring
In my life, I'll love you more
In the grand scheme of things, my love for you will always come out on top
