I Remember You
Queens of Dogtown Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The wind would whisper and I'd think of you
And all the tears you cried, that called my name
And when you needed me I came through
I paint a picture of the days gone by
When love went blind and then you would make me see
I'd stare a lifetime into your eyes
So that I knew that you were there for me
Remember yesterday, walking hand in hand
Love letters in the sand, I remember you
All the sleepless nights and every endless day
I'd wanna hear you say, "I remember you" yeah oh
We spend the summer with the top rolled down
Wished ever after would be like this
You said I love you, babe, without a sound
I said I'd give my life for just one kiss
I'd live for your smile and die for your kiss
Remember yesterday, walking hand in hand
Love letters in the sand, I remember you
All the sleepless nights and every endless day
I'd wanna hear you say, "I remember you" ooh, oh, ooh, oh
We've had our share of hard times
But that's the price we paid
And through it all we kept the promise that we made
I swear you'll never be lonely
Woke up to the sound of pouring rain
Washed away my dream of you
But nothing else could ever take you away
'Cause you'll always be my dream come true
Oh my darling, I love you
Remember yesterday, walking hand in hand
Love letters in the sand, I remember you
All the sleepless nights and every endless day
I'd wanna hear you say, "I remember, I remember you"
Yeah, oh, I remember you

Woke up to the sound of pouring rain
I woke up early in the morning and heard the sound of heavy rain outside
The wind would whisper and I'd think of you
The sound of the wind reminded me of you and I started thinking about you
And all the tears you cried, that called my name
I remember all the times you cried and how you used to call out my name during those times
And when you needed me I came through
Whenever you needed me, I was always there for you
I paint a picture of the days gone by
I have a vivid memory of the past and can imagine it clearly
When love went blind and then you would make me see
I was blinded by love and you helped me see things clearly again
I'd stare a lifetime into your eyes
I would look into your eyes for a very long time
So that I knew that you were there for me
By looking deeply into your eyes, I knew that you were always there for me
Time after time you were there for me
You were always there for me whenever I needed you, repeatedly
Remember yesterday, walking hand in hand
I remember the past when we used to walk together holding hands
Love letters in the sand, I remember you
I remember the love letters we wrote in the sand and how we expressed our love for each other
All the sleepless nights and every endless day
I remember all the nights I couldn't sleep, and days that felt like they would never end because I missed you so much
I'd wanna hear you say, "I remember you" yeah oh
I wish I could hear you say that you remember me, just like I remember you
We spend the summer with the top rolled down
We had a great summer, driving around with the top of our car down
Wished ever after would be like this
I hoped that our future together would be just as great as the summer we spent together
You said I love you, babe, without a sound
You expressed your love for me without actually saying it out loud
I said I'd give my life for just one kiss
I promised that I would do anything just to be able to kiss you
I'd live for your smile and die for your kiss
Your smile brings me so much joy that I would live just to see it, and your kiss means so much to me that I would die just to experience it
We've had our share of hard times
We have been through some difficult situations together
But that's the price we paid
We had to go through those hard times in order to be together
And through it all we kept the promise that we made
Despite the challenges, we always kept the promise that we made to each other
I swear you'll never be lonely
I promise that you will never be alone, because I will always be there for you
Washed away my dream of you
The sound of the rain washed away my dream about you
But nothing else could ever take you away
No matter what happens, nothing can take you away from me
'Cause you'll always be my dream come true
You are the one I have always been dreaming of, and you will always be my dream come true
Oh my darling, I love you
I love you so much, my dear
I'd wanna hear you say, "I remember, I remember you"
I really wish that you could say that you remember me, just like I remember you
Yeah, oh, I remember you
I will always remember you, no matter what happens
