I Remember You
Skid Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Woke up to the sound of pouring rain
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 you would make me see
I'd stare a lifetime into your eyes
So that I knew that you were there for me
Time after time you there for me

Remember yesterday, walking hand in hand
Love letters in the sand, I remember you
Through the sleepless nights through every endless day
I'd want to hear you say, I remember you oh oh

We spent 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
Through the sleepless nights through every endless day
I'd want to hear you say, I remember you

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 a 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
Through the sleepless nights through every endless day
I'd want to hear you say, I remember you

Remember yesterday walking hand in hand
Love letters in the sand I remember you




Through the sleepless nights, through every endless day
I'd wanna hear you say I remember, I remember you, oh yeah

'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
Through the sleepless nights through every endless day
I'd want to hear you say, I remember you

Remember yesterday walking hand in hand
Love letters in the sand I remember you
Through the sleepless nights, through every endless day

This was my me and my girfriend's song in 1989. I was away at college. We went on to marry and have a daughter who has given us two grandchildren. We wound up getting divorced many years ago, but this song can still put me back in that time and place where I was so in love I could barely breathe. Life moves fast. Take it all in and don't waste a second.
