Please Remember Me
Tim McGraw Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When all our tears have reached the sea
Part of you will live in me
Way down deep inside my heart
The days keep coming without fail
New wind is gonna find your sail
That's where your journey starts

You'll find better love
Strong as it ever was
Deep as the river runs
Warm as the morning sun
Please remember me

Just like the waves down by the shore
We're gonna keep on comin' back for more
'Cause we don't ever want to stop
Out in this brave new world you'll see
Oh the valleys and the peaks
And I can see you on the top

You'll find better love
Strong as it ever was
Deep as the river runs
Warm as the morning sun
Please remember me

Remember me when you're out walking
When snow falls high outside your door
Late at night when you're not sleeping
And moonlight falls across your floor
When I can't hurt you anymore

You'll find better love
Strong as it ever was
Deep as the river runs
Warm as the morning sun
Please remember me





Please remember me

Overall Meaning

The song "Please Remember Me" by Tim McGraw has a poignant meaning about the end of a relationship. The opening lines "When all our tears have reached the sea, part of you will live in me, way down deep inside my heart" signify the finality of the end of a relationship, but also the memories that will remain with the singer forever. The next lines "The days keep coming without fail, new wind is gonna find your sail, that's where your journey starts" express that life goes on and both people will continue on their individual paths. It's a bittersweet reminder that the relationship may be over but the good times will always be cherished.


The chorus, "You'll find better love, strong as it ever was, deep as the river runs, warm as the morning sun, please remember me" is almost like a farewell message to the person the song is directed towards. The singer is encouraging the other person to move on and find love again, but to also remember the love they once shared. The lines "just like the waves down by the shore, we're gonna keep on coming back for more, 'cause we don't ever want to stop" are especially meaningful because they imply that the love once shared between the two people will remain, even after they have moved on.


The final verse "Remember me when you're out walking, when snow falls high outside your door, late at night when you're not sleeping, and moonlight falls across your floor, when I can't hurt you anymore" is both sad and comforting. The singer acknowledges that they can no longer hurt the other person, but also wants to be remembered during special moments in their life. Overall, "Please Remember Me" is a touching song about the end of love and the memories that remain.

We lost 3 of our seven kids in the past 3yrs.
I hear this song from both perspectives.
Me to them as they reside in the presence of Father and Christ as He does on his throne in heaven for now.

And then to me from them as we walk on in this life for a little while longer.

It is a haunting mournful tune and sobering letter to each other that I take great comfort in.

God help us

This beautiful song reminds me of my son who died after a heart procedure. Oh, Lord how I miss him! Son, I love you much and can wait until we meet again at the feet of Jesus.
