Together
P.J. Proby Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

We strolled the lane together
Laughed at the rain together,
Sang love's refrain together
And we'd both pretend it would never end

But one day we cried together
Cast love aside together
You're gone from me,

But in my memory
We always will be together.

Oh darlin' the memory
Of all the happy moments we shared together
Will always remain in my heart
The picnics at the park,
The boat rides on the lake,
The way we danced all night,
The warmth of your kiss,
The way you held me tight
Are all part of a tender love
I'll never, never forget.

You're gone from me
But in my memory,

Darlin', wherever you are,
We'll always be together.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Together" by P.J. Proby describe a deep affection that was shared between two people. The first verse talks about how the couple enjoyed spending time with each other, even in unpleasant weather conditions. No matter what, they were always happy in each other's company and could sing love songs together. They lived in the moment and never thought about what would happen in the future. However, the second verse signifies a sudden change. The relationship took a turn for the worse and the couple parted ways. The pain of the separation was unbearable, but the memories of the time they spent together lingered on. Even though they are no longer together, the memories are so intense that they feel like they are still with each other.

Overall, the song is melancholy yet still has a glimmer of hope. It paints a beautiful picture of a relationship that held so much promise but ultimately fell apart. Despite the despair the singer feels, they still cherish the beautiful moments they shared with their loved one.

Line by Line Meaning

We strolled the lane together
We were walking together down a path.

Laughed at the rain together,
We found joy in the rain and laughed about it together.

Sang love's refrain together
We sang songs about love together.

And we'd both pretend it would never end
We would fool ourselves into thinking it would last forever.

But one day we cried together
At some point, we both shed tears together.

Cast love aside together
We gave up on our love together.

You're gone from me,
You're no longer with me.

But in my memory
But the memories of you remain within me.

We always will be together.
In my mind, we will always be together.

Oh darlin' the memory
Oh my dear, the recollection.

Of all the happy moments we shared together
Of all the moments of joy and happiness we experienced together.

Will always remain in my heart
Will forever be sentimental to me.

The picnics at the park,
The times we had lunch at the park.

The boat rides on the lake,
The occasions we went boating on the lake.

The way we danced all night,
The way we swayed and twirled together all night long.

The warmth of your kiss,
The affectionate feeling from your kiss.

The way you held me tight
The way you grasped me firmly.

Are all part of a tender love
Are all elements of a gentle fondness.

I'll never, never forget.
I will always treasure them in my memory.

Darlin', wherever you are,
My beloved, wherever you may be,

We'll always be together.
We will always stay united in my thoughts.
