Unforgettable
His Orchestra Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Unforgettable
That's what you are
Unforgettable
Tho' near or far
Like a song of love that clings to me
How the thought of you does things to me
Never before has someone been more
Unforgettable in every way
And forever more, that's how you'll stay
That's why darling it's incredible




That someone so unforgettable
Thinks that I am unforgettable too

Overall Meaning

The song "Unforgettable" by His Orchestra is a timeless classic that speaks of intense love and longing. The lyrics convey the idea of someone who is so unforgettable whether near or far, and whose memory stays with the singer. The lyrics compare the person's memory to a "song of love that clings to me," emphasizing the person's significant impact on the singer's life. The thought of that person does things to the singer - this is perhaps one of the most powerful aspects of the song. The person is unforgettable in every way, and the singer believes that they will stay that way forever. The fact that the person thinks the singer is unforgettable too is almost too incredible to believe.

My wife Ina and I loved Ray and his band in the Forties when he played at Broadway's Arcadia Ballroom in NYC. When he spotted us from the stage, next number woud be OUR WALTZ. He was a very special human being and we loved him dearly.
I am now nearly 89. My Ina has been gone since 1972 but it is still wonderful now to rediscover his music. May both rest in peace.
