People Come People Go
Guetta David Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

People come and people go
But your touch cuts me deeper
And still it grows at the center
I will always remember

Years gone by
Seems like you're still here
Every night in my dreams

You remind me with kisses so tender
I will always remember

Never been one to give my heart up so easily
But now you're gone wish I'd given my heart completely
In the touch of a stranger I can feel you
In the eyes of a child I see your face

Your hold on my soul
Keeps me from danger
No matter how hard I try
These memories I can't erase

People come and people go
But your touch cuts me deeper
And still it grows at the center
I will always remember

Years gone by
Seems like you're still here
Every night in my dreams
You remind me with kisses so tender
I will always remember

In the brush of a stranger I can feel you
In the eyes of a child I see your face
Your hold on my soul
Keeps me from danger

No matter how hard I try
These memories I can't replace.
