I Remember You
Eddie Angel Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
you're the one who made my dreams come true
a few kisses ago
I remember you
you're the one who said I love you too
didn't you know
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
then I will tell them I remember you
I remember you
you're the one who made my dreams come true
a few kisses ago
I remember you
you're the one who 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
I miss you darling
when my life is through
and the angels ask me to recall
the thrill of them all
then I will tell them I remember you
(Victor Schertzinger/John H. Mercer

In "I Remember You," Eddie Angel sings a song about an old flame, someone who had a significant impact on his life. He remembers them fondly and cherishes the moments they shared together. The lyrics are simple but elegant, capturing the feelings of longing and nostalgia that come with the memory of a past love.
The song opens with the lines, "I remember you, you're the one who made my dreams come true, a few kisses ago." These words suggest that the relationship was intense and filled with passion. The second stanza reinforces this idea, as the singer remembers the person saying, "I love you too." The repetition of the phrase "I remember you" throughout the song emphasizes the powerful hold that this person has on the singer's memory. Even years later, when his life is over, the singer is certain that he will remember this person and the happiness they shared.
The final lines of the song, "I miss you darling," underscore the bittersweet quality of the singer's memories. Although the relationship has ended and the person is gone, the singer still feels a deep sense of loss. However, he remains grateful for the joy that they shared and holds onto his memories of that time.
