Don't You

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Do you remember when I met you (Remember)
Didn't the moon look big that night (Remember)
Didn't you say my arms felt right about you (Remember)
Don't you remember how I kissed you (Remember)
Didn't you snuggle close to me (Remember)
Didn't you say I'd never be without you (Remember)
And the blue skies have all turned to gray
In my heart I will always remember
All the love that we knew yesterday
Don't you remember what you promised (Remember)
Didn't we set a wedding day (Remember)
Didn't you say you would wait
Don't you remember (stop, stop, stop pretending)
(Don't you remember it was springtime
How all the roses were in bloom
You had my picture upside down
Remember
And then there was the time that we made our plans about the future
We said we'd really settle down
We'd build a house out side of town
(Remember)
Now your love's grown cold as December
And my blue skies have all turned to gray
In my heart I will always remember
All the love that we knew yesterday
Don't you remember what you promised (Remember)
Didn't we set a wedding day (Remember)
Didn't you say you would wait
Don't you remember (stop pretending, I remember)
Remember
