Onde day in your life
Michael Jackson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

One day in your life
You'll remember a place
Someone touching your face
You'll come back and you'll look around, you'll

One day in your life
You'll remember the love you found here
You'll remember me somehow
Though you don't need me now
I will stay in your heart
And when things fall apart
You'll remember one day

One day in your life
When you find that you're always waiting
For a love we used to share
Just call my name, and I'll be there
You'll remember me somehow
Though you don't need me now
I will stay in your heart
And when things fall apart
You'll remember one day

One day in your life
When you find that you're always lonely




For a love we used to share
Just call my name, and I'll be there

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Michael Jackson's song “One Day in Your Life” reveals the nostalgia and pain one can feel when looking back on a lost love. The song is about how one particular day in the future, the person listening will look back and remember the moment when they found love, and how it felt to have that love. The lyrics express how these memories will never leave us, even as we move on with our lives with or without that love.


The first verse points out that one day we will remember a place and someone touching our face. These memories will stick with us throughout our lives and will be hard to shake off. The second verse speaks to the pain of losing a love and the longing that will always linger. This verse gestures to the fact that when the person listening to this song is feeling lonely, they can reach out to the person who is singing, because they will always be in their heart.


The song is incredibly relatable because many people will have a moment where they think about a person who made a significant impact on their life, and miss that person even when they’ve seemingly moved on. It is a beautiful song that expresses a universal human experience that anyone can listen to and feel the emotions it aims to communicate.

His songs are so deep .
They touch the heart to core ..
I don't know..
With every song of his i feel so emmotional..i cry ..
This person just had so much love in his heart and sadly he was lonely..
No sincere friends
Those he gave heart to doesnt seem to value his love be it Diana or Brooke or Lisa..he didnt get true love ..
And when he started enjoying and loving his kids he gone...
Gone too soon
