I'll Remember April
Julie London Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

This lovely day will lengthen into evening,
We'll sigh good-bye to all we've ever had,
Alone where we have walked together,
I'll remember April and be glad

I'll be content, you loved me once in April,
Your lips were warm, and love and spring were new,
But I'm not afraid of autumn, and her sorrow,
For I'll remember,
April and you!

The fire will dwindle into glowing ashes,
For flames and love live such a little while





I won't forget, but I won't be lonely,
I'll remember April, and I'll smile

Line by Line Meaning

This lovely day will lengthen into evening,
This beautiful day will eventually turn into night,


We'll sigh good-bye to all we've ever had,
We will say goodbye to everything we've ever shared,


Alone where we have walked together,
Now alone in places where we once walked together,


I'll remember April and be glad
But I will remember the month of April and feel joy


I'll be content, you loved me once in April,
I'll be satisfied knowing that you once loved me in April


Your lips were warm, and love and spring were new,
We shared warmth in our kiss, and the love and season were fresh and new


But I'm not afraid of autumn, and her sorrow,
I'm not scared of autumn and its sadness


For I'll remember,
Because I'll recall


April and you!
April, and especially you!


The fire will dwindle into glowing ashes,
The flame will eventually fade into glowing ashes,


For flames and love live such a little while
Because both flames and love have a brief lifespan


I won't forget, but I won't be lonely,
I won't forget, but I won't feel lonely either


I'll remember April, and I'll smile
I'll recall the memories of April and smile
