Glory Days
Joey Pecoraro Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I, I just remembered
What? Speak up, child
But i-it was nothing, nothing at all
Oh, I'm sorry
Wait, please don′t say that
Those days we had together, let's not forget them
Glorious days, and then we'll have them all over again
Yes, we will
The lyrics to Joey Pecoraro's song 'Glory Days' are filled with nostalgia and longing for the past. The song begins with a question, "Why, Mrs. Wilton, what's the matter?", that doesn't get answered directly but instead leads into a conversation between two people reminiscing about the past. The first speaker, who seems to be Mrs. Wilton, recalls something from the past but dismisses it as "nothing at all." However, the second speaker urges her to remember the past and the "days we had together." These days are referred to as "glorious" and the singers express the belief that they can experience these moments again.
The song's message is about holding onto memories and cherishing the best moments of our lives. It speaks to the idea that life can be fleeting and that we should appreciate the people and experiences that we've had. Through the imagery of "glorious days," the song reminds us that life can be beautiful, and that it's important to remember that beauty even when times are tough. The song fosters a hopefulness and a belief in possibility and the power of memory to recreate the good times in our lives.
