Unforgettable
Marvin Gaye Lyrics

The lyrics to Marvin Gaye's song Unforgettable are a declaration of love that speaks to the depth of the singer's feelings for his beloved. The song's title is repeated like a mantra throughout the verses, emphasizing the lasting impact that this person has had on the songwriter's life. The simile used in the second verse, comparing the person to a song of love, is a beautiful way of capturing the intense emotions that are set off by the mere thought of this person.

The lyrics also speak to the reciprocation of these feelings, with the final lines revealing that the writer is not the only one who feels the depth of what they share. The word "incredible" used to describe this revelation speaks to the wonder that comes with realizing that someone you hold in such high regard feels the same way you do. The final line, "Thinks that I am unforgettable too," is a perfect ending to a song that is all about the inextricable bond between two people who share an unforgettable connection.
