People Come People Go
Joachim Garraud Chris Willis & David Guetta Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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.

People come and people go
The people in my life are constantly changing
But your touch cuts me deeper
Your touch affects me more deeply than anyone else's
And still it grows at the center
This feeling I have for you keeps growing stronger
I will always remember
I will never forget you
Years gone by
Time has passed since we were together
Seems like you're still here
It feels like you never left
Every night in my dreams
I dream about you every night
You remind me with kisses so tender
In my dreams, you remind me of our tender moments
Never been one to give my heart up so easily
I have always been careful with my heart
But now you're gone wish I'd given my heart completely
Now that you're gone, I regret not giving you my whole heart
In the touch of a stranger I can feel you
Sometimes it feels like your touch is being mirrored in other people's touches
In the eyes of a child I see your face
When I look at a child's face, I think of you
Your hold on my soul
Your influence on my soul
Keeps me from danger
Protects me from harm
No matter how hard I try
Despite my efforts
These memories I can't erase
I can't forget these memories
In the brush of a stranger I can feel you
Sometimes it feels like your presence is being conveyed through a stranger
These memories I can't replace.
I can't find anything to replace these memories
