In My Life
Ken Peplowski Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

There are places I'll remember
All my life, though some have changed
Some forever, not for better
Some have gone and some remain
All these places had their moments
With lovers and friends, I still can recall
Some are dead and some are living
In my life, I've loved them all

But of all these friends and lovers
There is no one compares with you
And these memories lose their meaning
When I think of love as something new
Though I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I'll often stop and think about them
In my life, I'll love you more

Though I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before

I know I'll often stop and think about them
In my life, I'll love you more

Line by Line Meaning

There are places I'll remember
I hold memories of various places in my mind

All my life, though some have changed
Even though some of these places aren't the same anymore, they are still meaningful to me

Some forever, not for better
Certain places will always be there, but they may not be the happiest of memories

Some have gone and some remain
Some places I remember no longer exist, but some still do

All these places had their moments
Every place has had a special moment or memory associated with it

With lovers and friends, I still can recall
These memories include people I have loved and befriended

Some are dead and some are living
These people I remember may be deceased or alive

In my life, I've loved them all
I have cherished and loved all these people and places in my life

But of all these friends and lovers
Out of all the people I remember and love,

There is no one compares with you
None of them come close to comparing to you

And these memories lose their meaning
Memories of other people and places seem less significant

When I think of love as something new
When I am experiencing new love

Though I know I'll never lose affection
Even though I love you deeply,

For people and things that went before
I will always have a special place in my heart for those people and places of the past

I know I'll often stop and think about them
I will frequently pause to reminisce about those memories

In my life, I'll love you more
Despite my love for the past, my love for you only grows stronger

Though I know I'll never lose affection
Even though I love you deeply,

For people and things that went before
I will always have a special place in my heart for those people and places of the past

I know I'll often stop and think about them
I will frequently pause to reminisce about those memories

In my life, I'll love you more
Despite my love for the past, my love for you only grows stronger
