Will you remember the dress I wore?
Will you remember my face?
Will you remember the lipstick I wore?
This world is a wonderful place
Will you remember the black limousine?
Will you remember champagne?
Will you remember the things that we've seen?
I will return here again
Will you remember the flowers in my hand?
Will you remember my hair?
Will you remember the future we planned?
The world is not waiting out there
I won't remember the dress I wore
I won't remember champagne
I won't remember the things that we swore
I will just love you in vain
Will you remember?
Will you recall?
Will you remember my face?
Will you remember the lipstick I wore?
This world is a wonderful place
Will you remember the black limousine?
Will you remember champagne?
Will you remember the things that we've seen?
I will return here again
Will you remember the flowers in my hand?
Will you remember my hair?
Will you remember the future we planned?
The world is not waiting out there
I won't remember the dress I wore
I won't remember champagne
I won't remember the things that we swore
I will just love you in vain
Will you remember?
Will you recall?

To me, it's clearly a wedding song. But the punchline confuses me, because when Cranberries recorded it, Dolores and Don were just about two years married and I doubt she did sense then, that something was going wrong. And the lyric sounds like if a narrator was ex-wife. Maybe it was about some other couple, a friends for example, whose relationship did disintegrate. Or maybe she wrote it having a depressive phase and thinking he didn't love her anymore? Who knows?
The song is also very interesting musically. It sounds like an funfair tune or musical-box, or a song from an old vaudeville. Sometimes makes me think of "Girl With No Eyes" by David LaFlamme & It's A Beautifil Day.
The album was dedicated to their manager who died. He also happened to be the guy that got them into the business professionally. Also, Dolores' grandfather died around this time, whom I understand she was very close to.
I know her voice is sexy but there is nothing sexual about this album. It's an intimate, personal album, but not like that. It's a brilliant album and yet it's so sad when you really listen to the lyrics, listen to it from start to finish and know a little of the history that surrounds it's making.
