Remember Me
Rosetta Hightower Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Didn't I tell you I wouldn't hold you down
Take good care of yourself, y'hear
Don't let me hear about you shedding a tear
You're gonna make it
You're gonna take it
Remember me as a sunny day
Didn't I inspire you a little higher
Remember me as a funny clown
That made you laugh when you were down
Didn't I boy, didn't I boy
Remember me as a big balloon
At a carnaval that ended too soon
Remember me as a breath of spring
Remember me as a good thing
Bye baby, see you around
I already know about the new love you've found
What can I do but wish you well
What we had was really swell
I won't forget it, I have no regrets
Remember me as a sound of laughter
And my face the morning after
Didn't the sky beckon us to fly?
Yes, you'l remember the times we fought
But don't forget me in your tender thoughts
Please darlin' oh yeah
Remember me when you drink the wine
Of sweet succes and I gave you my best
Remember me every song you sing
Remember me as a good thing
Remember me as a sunny day
Please darling, remember me as a good thing
Remember me when you drink the wine
Remember me as a good thing
Remember me as a big balloon
Don't forget me darling
The song "Remember Me" by Rosetta Hightower is a heartfelt reflection on a past romantic relationship. In the opening lines of the song, the singer bids farewell to their former lover and promises not to hold them down. They encourage their former partner to take good care of themselves and not to shed a tear over the breakup, reassuring them that they will make it and take it. The second verse of the song is a plea to be remembered in a positive light. The singer asks to be remembered as a sunny day that once brightened up their former partner's life, as a funny clown that made them laugh when they were down, and as a big balloon that added some fun to their life. The song ends with the singer wishing their former lover well, saying that they won't forget what they had, and asking to be remembered as a good thing.
The song can be interpreted as a bittersweet farewell to a past lover. The singer is mature enough to acknowledge that their relationship is over, and instead of fighting it, they choose to remember it in a positive light. They ask to be remembered for the good times they shared, and not just the fights and disagreements. The song is a reminder that although some relationships do not last, they can still leave a positive mark on one's life. The singer lets go of their lover, but not the memories they created together.
