The Song of My LIfe
Petula Clark Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Everyone has a song
That belongs to their life
That will go on and on
Through the years of their life
There's a wonderful song
One that you brought to me
And I look on this song
[Chorus:]
This is the song of my life
It will go on through my life
Something you said tenderly
Suddenly it's music for me
It springs from things that we share
Only through you is it there
I walk along day and night
Singing the song of my life
I can picture the past
That we knew yesterday
Every tear, every laugh
Every step of the way
I recall what was wrong
And the things that were right
And each moment belongs
To the song of my life
(Repeat chorus)
This is the song of my life
It will go on through my life
Lalalalalalala
Lalalalalalala
This is the song of my life
Lalalalalalala
The Song of My Life by Petula Clark is a beautiful tribute to the significance of music in our lives. The song expresses that every person has a particular song that belongs to them and will go on with them through the years, and for the singer in this song, that song is the one that was shared by her loved one. The "wonderful song" that her loved one brought to her is regarded as her life's symphony. It's a song that suddenly turned into music for her because of something tender that was said to her, and it springs from things that they share. The song is a part of her life that is vital, and she sings it along day and night. She recalls everything from the past that they knew, both good and bad, and all of those moments belong to the song of her life. This song is an embodiment of the love, memories, and joy that music creates and preserves uniquely for each person.
