I Remember You
Sherry Petta Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Drive out of the city
Away from the crowds
I thought heaven can't help me now
Nothing lasts forever
But this is gonna take me down
He's so tall, and handsome as hell
He's so bad but he does it so well
Say you'll remember me
Standing in a nice dress, staring atthe sunset, babe
Red lips and rosy cheeks
Say you'll see me again even if it's just in your wildest dreams
Wildest dreams
I said "
No one has to know what we do,"
His hands are in my hair, his clothes are in my room
And his voice is a familiar sound, nothing lasts forever
But this is getting good now
He's so tall, and handsome as hell
He's so bad but he does it so well
And when we've had our very last kiss
My last request is
Say you'll remember me
Standing in a nice dress, staring atthe sunset, babe
Red lips and rosy cheeks
Say you'll see me again even if it's just in your wildest dreams
Wildest dreams
You see me in hindsight
Tangled up with you all night
Burnin' it down
Some day when you leave me
I bet these memories follow you around
You see me in hindsight
Tangled up with you all night
Burnin' it down
Some day when you leave me
I bet these memories follow you around
Say you'll remember me
Standing in a nice dress, staring atthe sunset, babe
Red lips and rosy cheeks
Say you'll see me again even if it's just pretend
Say you'll remember me
Standing in a nice dress, staring atthe sunset babe
Red lips and rosy cheeks
Say you'll see me again even if it's just in your wildest dreams
In your wildest dreams
Even if it's just in your wildest dreams
In your wildest dreams
The lyrics to "I Remember You" by Sherry Petta depict a romantic encounter between two individuals who are caught up in the moment and aware that it might not last. The song begins with the male character inviting the female character to leave the town and escape the crowd. She, however, knows that the moment cannot last forever, yet she is still drawn to the man.
She describes him as "tall and handsome as hell" and that he's "so bad, but he does it so well." This speaks to the idea that she knows he's not the best choice for her, but she can't resist him. She acknowledges that "nothing lasts forever," but she wants him to remember her as she is in this moment, standing in a nice dress, staring at the sunset with red lips and rosy cheeks. She asks him to remember her even if it's just in his wildest dreams.
The chorus repeats this sentiment, as she wants to be remembered even when he leaves, and she believes the memories of their time together will follow him. The song is about living in the moment and cherishing the memories that come from it, even if they don't last forever.
